Here, we want to give the equation that can be used to solve for the area of the shape

The shape we have is a triangle

The formula for the area is half the product of the base and the height

Mathematically, we have this as;


\begin{gathered} Area\text{ = }(1)/(2)\text{ }*\text{ base }*\text{ height} \\ \\ \text{Area = }(1)/(2)*2.4\text{ cm }*\text{ 3.7 cm} \end{gathered}
