The area of a triangle is given by the formula
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]
Where
b is the length of the base
h is the height of he triangle
Looking at the figure, we can see:
[tex]\begin{gathered} b=4 \\ h=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Substituting this information into the formula, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}bh \\ A=\frac{1}{2}(4)(2) \\ A=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer
Area = 4 sq. units.
