For this case we have that by definition, the area of a triangle is given by:


A = \frac {b * h} {2}

Where:

b: It is the base of the triangle

h: It is the height of the triangle

According to the data of the statement we have:


b = 3 \ units\\h = 4 \ units

Substituting in the formula we have:


A = \frac {3 * 4} {2} = \frac {12} {2} = 6 \ units ^ 2

So, the area of the triangle is
6 \ units ^ 2

Answer:


6 \ units ^ 2
