"The child sees triangle ACB = triangle ADB, and that I + II = CA - DB; and so he sees that the area of triangle=1/2 area of rectangle whose base and altitude are the same as those of the triangles." -Foster, 1921

"Fig. 3 shows triangle I = triangle II, III = IV, and so triangle ABC = 1/2 of rectangle ABDE. The fact is realized that the area of a triangle equals 1/2 the product of the base and altitude." -Foster, 1921
