Answer:

12 cm

Explanation:

The formula to the area of a triangle is A=1/2bh or area=1/2 of the base times the height.

The base is 6 and the height is 4, so first multiply those 2 together. Then, cut it in half. So that is 24/2=12. Any time a problem asks you to multiply by 1/2 or asks for half of something, remember you can just divide by 2. The area of the triangle is 12 cm.
