The area of the triangle is 4 units²
<h3>What is the area of a triangle?</h3>
The area of a triangle is the half the base multiplied with the height of that triangle
Area = 1/ 2 × b × h
From the figure given,
base = 7 - 3 = 4 units
height = 4 - 2 = 2 units
Area = 1/ 2 × 4 × 2
Area = 1/ 2 × 8
Area = 4 units²
Thus, the area of the triangle is 4 units²
