Answer:

8 square units

Explanation:

The base is on a horizontal line. The points are 7-3 = 4 units apart.

The side perpendicular to the base is a vertical segment 6 -2 = 4 units long.

The area is ...

A = 1/2bh

A = 1/2(4 units)(4 units) = 8 units²

The area of the triangle is 8 square units.

__

It is effectively half of a square that is 4 units on a side. 1/2(4²) = 8.
