\text{Area}_(triangle)=36cm^2

Step-by-step explanation

the area of a a triangle is given by:


\text{Area}_(triangle)=(base\cdot height)/(2)

then

Let

base=6 cm

height=12 cm

now, replace


\begin{gathered} \text{Area}_(triangle)=(base\cdot height)/(2) \\ \text{Area}_(triangle)=\frac{6cm\cdot12\text{ cm}}{2} \\ \text{Area}_(triangle)=\frac{72\operatorname{cm}}{2} \\ \text{Area}_(triangle)=36cm^2 \end{gathered}

I hope this helps you
