• the area of the triangle is...
• i solved for the area by...

Explanation:

Step1: Identify base and height

By counting grid - squares, base $b = 4$ units and height $h= 6$ units.

Step2: Apply area formula

The formula for the area of a triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$. Substitute $b = 4$ and $h = 6$ into the formula: $A=\frac{1}{2}\times4\times6$.

Step3: Calculate the area

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times4\times6=12$ square units.

Answer:

12 square units
