The correct Answer is:
To find the area of a triangle when the base and height are given, we can use the formula: **Area of Triangle = (1/2) × Base × Height** ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the base and height of the triangle.** - Base (b) = 12 cm - Height (h) = 8 cm 2. **Substitute the values into the area formula.** - Area = (1/2) × Base × Height - Area = (1/2) × 12 cm × 8 cm 3. **Calculate the product of the base and height.** - First, calculate 12 cm × 8 cm = 96 cm². 4. **Multiply by 1/2.** - Area = (1/2) × 96 cm² = 48 cm². 5. **State the final result.** - The area of the triangle is 48 cm². ### Final Answer: The area of the triangle is **48 cm²**. ---
