What is the area of the triangle? A right triangle. The base is 12 units. The height is 8 units.

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: Area = 0.5 * base * height.

Given that the base is 12 units and the height is 8 units, we can plug these values into the formula:

Area = 0.5 * 12 * 8
Area = 0.5 * 96
Area = 48 square units

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 48 square units.
