Answer:


6 square units

Explanation:

The area of a triangle can be calculated by multiplying the triangle's base by its height, and then dividing the result by
2. As an algebraic expression, this would be
(bh)/(2), where
b is the triangle's base and
h is the triangle's height. In this case, we know that
b=3 and
h=4. Therefore, the area of this triangle is
(3*4)/(2) =(12)/(2) =6 square units. Hope this helps!
