Answer:

A. 12 Square Units

Explanation:

The area formula of a triangle is: 1/2bh or bh/2(the same thing just rewritten differently)

1) Identify variables(inputs)

The base of this triangle is 8.

The height of this triangle is 3.

2) Plug in Formula

1/2(8)(3) or (8)(3)/2

3) Evaluate

8 x 3 = 24

24/2 = 12

A. = 12 square units

I can a bit deeper into the "why" of the formula in finding the area of a triangle if you would like :))
