The image shows a right triangle on a grid where each square represents 1 unit by 1 unit. 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 grid, we can observe:

• The base of the triangle is 4 units.
• The height of the triangle is 3 units.

Substituting these values into the formula:

$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 3 = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 = 6 \text{ square units}$

The area of the triangle is 6 square units.

Tip: Remember, the area of any right triangle is half the product of the two sides forming the right angle.
