To find the area of a right triangle, you can use the formula A = 0.5 * base * height.
In this case, the base (bottom) of the triangle is 2 cm and the height (right side) is 4 cm.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
A = 0.5 * 2 * 4
A = 0.5 * 8
A = 4 cm²
Therefore, the area of the right triangle is 4 square centimeters.
