As we know,

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height. and we can observe in the figure that each of the Triangles has same base as well as Height, therefore they have same area as well.

So, correct choice is D. They all have the same area

Answer:

D They all have the same area

Explanation:


\sf Area \ of \ a \ triangle = \frac12 * base * height

As all three triangles have the same base length (4 units) and same height (7 units), they all have the same area.

Proof:

Triangle I


\sf Area = \frac12 * 4* 7=14 \ units^2

Triangle II


\sf Area = \frac12 * 4* 7=14 \ units^2

Triangle III


\sf Area = \frac12 * 4* 7=14 \ units^2
