Answer:

The answer is B. It is one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units.

Explanation:

Given a coordinate grid shown with the triangle of measurements with base 4 units and height also 4 units.

We have to find the area of a triangle which can be calculated as


{\Rightarrow{\sf{Area\:=\:(1)/(2)\:x\:base\:x\:height}


{\Rightarrow{\sf{Area\:=\:(1)/(2)\:x\:4\:x\:4}

we have to choose the statement that describes the area of the triangle evaluate above.
