[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To calculate the area of a triangle, you use the formula:

Area = (base * height) / 2.

In this case, the base is 15 cm and the height is 2.5 cm.

Substituting those values into the formula:

Area = (15 cm * 2.5 cm) / 2

Area = 37.5 cm²

Therefore, the correct answer is 37.5 cm.
