Answer:

42 cm ^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is 1/2 B x H ( one half base times height)

The base is 6 cm and the height is 14 cm. So the full equation now is

1/2 (6) (14)

First you multiple 6 times 14 which is 84. Next you just divide it by 2 because 1/2 is half of the number. 84 divided by 2 is 42. So your answer is

42 cm ^2 (centimetres squared)
