Question

The area of a triangle with base $4cm$and height $6cm$is $24c{m}^2.$ Write True or False and justify your answer.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Given, base is $4cm$and height is $6cm$

We know that,

Area of triangle$=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height$

So,

$\begin{array}{rcl}Area& =& \frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 6\\ & =& 4\times 3\\ & =& 12c{m}^2\end{array}$

Thus, the area of the triangle is $12c{m}^2$ which is not equal to $24c{m}^2.$

Hence, the given statement is “FALSE”
