To find the area of a triangle, we use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \]
In your case, if we consider the "6 in" as the base and the "4 in" as the height, we can substitute these values into the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 , \text{in} \times 4 , \text{in} \]
Calculating this:
\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 4 = \frac{1}{2} \times 24 = 12 \text{ in}^2 \]
Therefore, the area of the triangle is:
\[ \text{Area} = 12 \text{ in}^2 \]
