Answer:</u></h2>
<u></u>
//Method/function name is areaOfTriangle
//Return type is double
//Method receives two parameters of type double - base and height
public static double areaOfTriangle(double base, double height){
//Find the area using the formula: 1/2 * base * height
double area = 0.5 * base * height;
//return the area
return area;
} //End of areaOfTriangle method
<h2><u>
Step-by-step explanation:</u></h2>
<u></u>
The function above has been written in Java.
It contains comments explaining each line of the code. Please go through the comments.
In order to test the function, a complete program containing a main method has also been written. This is shown as follows;
//Class definition begins
public class Area{
//Method/function name is areaOfTriangle
//Return type is double
//Method receives two parameters of type double - base and height
public static double areaOfTriangle(double base, double height){
//Find the area using the formula: 1/2 * base * height
double area = 0.5 * base * height;
//return the area
return area;
} //End of areaOfTriangle method
//Write the main method to call the method
public static void main(String []args){
//Call the areaOfTriangle() method in the main method
//Set the base to 12 and the height to 6
System.out.println(areaOfTriangle(12, 6));
}
} //End of class definition
