A triangle has a base measurement of 6 cm and a height of 4 cm. What is its area?

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:

[

\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}

]

In this case, the base of the triangle is 6 cm and the height is 4 cm. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

[

\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 , \text{cm} \times 4 , \text{cm}

]

Calculating this gives:

[

\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 24 , \text{cm}^2 = 12 , \text{cm}^2

]

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 12 cm². This shows that the answer is correct as it directly follows from the application of the correct area formula for a triangle using the provided dimensions.
