The area \( A \) of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:

\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

For a triangle with a height of 18 cm and a base of 12 cm, the area would be:

\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \, \text{cm} \times 18 \, \text{cm}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 18 = \frac{1}{2} \times 216 = 108 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Therefore, the area of the triangle is \( 108 \, \text{cm}^2 \).
