Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A

Only right angled triangles

Only isosceles triangle

C

All type of triangles

D

None of these

Using the formula $\frac{1}{2}\times \text{base}\times \text{height}$ we can find the area of any triangle irrespective of its type if we know the base and the height of the given triangle.

The base and height of some triangles are shown below:

A) Right angled triangle

B) Isosceles triangle

C) Equilateral Triangle
