Question
Triangles having the same base have equal area.
Options
True
False
Advertisements
Solution
This statement is False.
Explanation:
∵ Area of triangle = `1/2` × Base × Height
So, area of triangle does not only depend on base, it also depends on height.
Hence, if triangles have equal base and equal height, then only their areas are equal.
