Find the area of a triangle with base 6 cm and height 8 cm.

Step 1: Recall the formula for the area of a triangle

The area of a triangle is calculated by taking half the product of its base and its corresponding height. This formula is fundamental in geometry for finding the space enclosed by a triangle.

Step 2: Substitute the given values into the formula

We are given that the base of the triangle is 6 cm and the height is 8 cm. Substitute these values directly into the area formula.

Step 3: Calculate the area

First, multiply half of the base (which is 3 cm) by the height (8 cm). This gives us the area of the triangle. The units are square centimeters because we multiplied centimeters by centimeters.
