You can’t find the area with just the height because the formula is length times width

It is simply not possible with just the height given. The formula for area of a triangle is 1/2bh (one half times base times height). So here 1/2 times 4 is 2, but then you need to multiply 2 by the base. If they didn’t give you a base, just write 2b
