Question

The area of the triangle is 1560 m2

True

False

Answer 1

FALSE

Explanation:

Area of triangle is given by formula :

`Area\ =\ (1)/(2)\left(base\right)\left(Altitude\right)`

From picture we see that Altitude = 60 m

Base = 52 + 71 = 123 m

Now plug these values into above formula:

`Area\ =\ (1)/(2)\left(123\right)\left(60\right)`

`Area\ =\ (1)/(2)\left(15129\right)`

`Area\ =\ (15129)/(2)`

`Area\ =\ 7564.5`

Which is different than given area 1560 m^2.

Hence answer is FALSE.
