Answer:

(12 × 4) = 24 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded triangle's area is found using the formula for the area of any triangle, A = 1/2 b*h. The base of the triangle is the longest side 12 ft. The height is 4 ft.

A = 1/2 *12*4 = 6*4 = 24 square feet

This is the solution though the expression is missing the 1/2.

(12 × 4) = 24 square feet
