Question

The formula to find the area of a triangle: $\frac{1}{2}\times$base$\times$height, is valid only for a right angled triangle.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

We can find the area of any triangle using the formula: $\frac{1}{2}\times$base$\times$height, as long as we know the length of base and height of the triangle.

Example:

$△ABC$ is not a right angled triangle, but we know the length of its base and its height. Thus, we can calculate its area.

$\Rightarrow$ Area $=\frac{1}{2}\times 15\times 10=75$ square units.

Thus, the given statement is False.
