Consider the GetArea Method from the Textbook Shown Below: Public

question 32

Multiple Choice

Consider the getArea method from the textbook shown below: public int getArea()
{
If (width <= 0) { return 0; } // line #1
If (width == 1) { return 1; } // line #2
Triangle smallerTriangle = new Triangle(width - 1) ; // line #3
Int smallerArea = smallerTriangle.getArea() ; // line #4
Return smallerArea + width; // line #5
}
Assume line #3 is changed to this:
Triangle smallerTriangle = new Triangle(width + 1)
When calling the getArea method on a Triangle object with width = 4, what result will be produced?

• A) area for all triangles will be computed to be too high
• B) area for all triangles will be computed to be too low
• C) area will only be incorrect for a triangle objects with width = 1
• D) infinite recursion will occur for triangle objects with width >= 2
