The area \( A \) of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
Given that the base is 8 and the height is 12, we can substitute these values into the formula:
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 12
\]
Calculating this:
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 96 = 48
\]
Thus, the area of the triangle is \( 48 \) square units.
