To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
In this case, the base of the triangle is 24 millimeters and the height is 8 millimeters. Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 24 \, \text{mm} \times 8 \, \text{mm}
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 192 \, \text{mm}^2 = 96 \, \text{mm}^2
\]
Therefore, the area of the shaded triangle is **96 mm²**.
