Answer 1

To find the area of the triangle using the formula \( A = \frac{1}{2}bh \), where \( b \) is the base (width) and \( h \) is the height:

- Base \( b = 8 \, m \)
- Height \( h = 3 \, m \)

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 3 \]

Calculating this:

\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 24 \]
\[ A = 12 \]

Thus, the area of the triangle is:

**12** m²
