base: 4 meters
height: 3 meters
select one of four
6 square meters
12 meters
12 square meters
6 meters

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a triangle

The formula for the area of a triangle is \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h\), where \(b\) is the base and \(h\) is the height.

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given \(b = 4\) meters and \(h=3\) meters. Substitute these values into the formula: \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times4\times3\).
First, calculate \(4\times3 = 12\). Then, \(\frac{1}{2}\times12=6\).

Answer:

6 square meters
