Answer 1

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

\[
A = \frac{1}{2}bh
\]

where \( b \) is the width (base) and \( h \) is the height.

Given:
- Height \( h = 3 \) m
- Width (base) \( b = 8 \) m

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 3
\]
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 24
\]
\[
A = 12
\]

Thus, the area of the triangle is \( 12 \).

Final answer: **12**
