To find the area of the triangle, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle:

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$

From the image, the base of the triangle is 8 cm, and the height is 3 cm.

Substitute the values into the formula:

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \, \text{cm} \times 3 \, \text{cm} = \frac{1}{2} \times 24 \, \text{cm}^2 = 12 \, \text{cm}^2$

Thus, the area of the triangle is 12 cm².
