Solution

The correct option is A

True


For a scalene triangle we usually tend to find the area of the triangle using heron’s formula because dropping a perpendicular and then using the formula of 1/2 × base × height.

Area of the triangle can hence be given in two forms. The area of triangle could be given by heron’s formula by first calculating the semi perimeter of the triangle or by dropping a perpendicular and then finding out the area using the formula 1/2 × base × height.
