1. The problem asks for the area of a triangle with a base of 8 units and a height of 6 units. 2. The formula for the area of a triangle is: $$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$$ 3. Substitute the given values into the formula: $$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 6$$ 4. Simplify the multiplication: $$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 48$$ 5. Multiply to find the area: $$\text{Area} = 24$$ 6. Therefore, the area of the triangle is 24 square units.
