To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \]
Since you mentioned that the base and height are found by counting the squares, you would need to determine these measurements first from the triangle representation.
Once you have the base and height, you can substitute those values into the formula.
If you're looking for the correct answer from the response options you provided, it will depend on the specific values of the base and height of your triangle. If you know the base and height, please provide that information, and I can help you calculate the area! Otherwise, you would need to do the counting and calculation based on your triangle.
