Explanation:

Step1: Substitute the values into the formula

Given the formula \( Area=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height \), where \( base = 12\) m and \( height=8.4\) m.
So, \( Area=\frac{1}{2}\times12\times8.4\)

Step2: Perform the multiplication

First, \( \frac{1}{2}\times12 = 6\)
Then, \( 6\times8.4=50.4\)

Answer:

\(50.4\)
