Answer: A = 24 unit²

Concept:

The area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a two-dimensional region, shape, or planar lamina, in the plane.

Area (triangle) = bh/2

b = base

h = height

Solve:

Given information

1 unit = 1 grid

b = 6 grids = 6 × 1 = 6 units

h = 8 grids = 8 × 1 = 8 units

Given expression

A = bh / 2

Substitute values into the expression

A = (6) (8) / 2

A = 48 / 2

A = 24 units²

Hope this helps!! :)
