To calculate the area of a right triangle, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
In your case, the base is 4 cm and the height is 2 cm. Plugging in these values:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \, \text{cm} \times 2 \, \text{cm}
\]
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
\[
\text{Area} = 4 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
Therefore, the area of the right triangle is \(4 \, \text{cm}^2\).
