The first two consecutive odd integers are 1 and 3.
The height has to be 3 since the question implies that the height is exceeds the base. So the base is 1. b = 1 cm
The area of a triangle is base*height*(1/2)
Plug in the values for base and height.
1*3*(1/2)
Simplify. Your final answer should be 1.5 cm^2
