18 feet2

144 feet2

36 feet2

324 feet2

The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula:

Area = (1/2) * base * height

Plugging in the values given:

Area = (1/2) * 9 feet * 4 feet
Area = (1/2) * 36 feet
Area = 18 feet^2

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 18 feet^2.

The correct answer is: 18 feet2
