Given:

A right triangle on a coordinate plane.

To find:

The area of a triangle.

Solution:

We know that, the area of a triangle is


A=(1)/(2)* Base * Height

From the given figure it is clear that the base of the triangle is 4 units and the height is 3 units. So, the area of the given triangle is


A=(1)/(2)* 4 * 3


A=(12)/(2)


A=6

The area of the given triangle is 6 units². Therefore, the correct option is B.
