To calculate the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
However, if we only have the lengths of two sides (3 meters and 4 meters), we need additional information about the angle between these two sides to find the area.
If you have information about the angle between the two sides, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times a \times b \times \sin(C)
\]
Where:
- \(a\) and \(b\) are the lengths of the sides (3 m and 4 m in this case),
- \(C\) is the angle between them.
If you don't have the angle, we cannot calculate the area with just the two sides given. Can you provide the angle or more information about the triangle? If the triangle is a right triangle and the sides are 3 m and 4 m (where one of the sides is the base and the other is the height), then the area can be calculated as:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 4 = 6 \, \text{square meters}
\]
