To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:
Area = (base * height) / 2
In this case, the base (b) is 8 inches and the height (h) is 12 inches. To find the area, plug in these values into the formula:
Area = (8 * 12) / 2
= 96 / 2
= 48 square inches
So, the area of the triangle is 48 square inches.
