What is the area in square centimeters of the triangle pictured here?

The base is 9cm and the height is 7cm.

The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula:

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Plugging in the values given:

Area = 1/2 * 9cm * 7cm
Area = 1/2 * 63cm
Area = 31.5 square centimeters

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 31.5 square centimeters.
