It is false. If it has a triangle as its base it would be a pyramid.
A triangle is 2D, and has a square base. A cone is 3D, and has a circular base.
A right circular cone is perfectly balanced on its circular base. Imagine a cone that has a circular base, but leans to one side - this is a non right circular cone.

In a right circular cone a line from the vertex to the center of the circular base is perpendicular to the base. In an oblique circular cone that same line will not be perpendicular.

A Right Circular Cone is one wherein the base of the cone is circular and the axis of the cone is perpendicular to the base and passes through the center of the base and the vertex of the cone.

Cones have a circular base and a triangle prism has a triangular base
In a right circular cone the apex is directly above the centre of the base.
A 'right cone'.
A cone has a flat circular base
The result is a right cone
