$4$ square inches
Work Step by Step
RECALL:
The area $A$ of a triangle can be found using the formula:
$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$
where
b = base
h = height
The given triangle has:
base= 2 inches
height = 4 inches
Use the formula and the given measurements above to obtain:
$A= \frac{1}{2}bh
\\A=\frac{1}{2}(2)(4)
\\A=\frac{8}{2}
\\A=4$
Thus, the area of the triangle is $4$ square inches.
