Answer:

12 sq. units

Explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a triangle is a = 1/2bh, or 1/2 times base times height.

To do this, multiply the base (6) and height lengths (4). This gets you 24.

But we're not done. You must then multiply by 1/2, which is the same a dividing by 2/1 or 2. 24/2 = 12. Slap on the unit of measurement and you've got your answer.
