Triangles on the Same Base and Between the Same Parallels

If two triangles share the same base and are between the same parallel lines, they also have areas.

This is because a triangle is of a parallelogram.

Even if one triangle looks "taller" due to a slant, its actual height (perpendicular to the base) remains the .

In the above figure, the three triangles (∆AXB and ∆) are on the same base and have a common height.

Can we say all the triangles are equal in area? .

Are the triangles congruent also? .

All the congruent triangles are equal in area but the triangles equal in area need not be congruent
