Triangle Area Base Times Height

A simple visual walkthrough showing how to find the area of a triangle with base 4 and height 5 using the formula one-half times base times height. The animation highlights the base and perpendicular height directly on the triangle, then multiplies the values step by step to reach the final area of 10 square units. Designed for ASVAB test-takers, it reinforces quick mental math and the core geometry formula needed for timed exams.
