Answer:

  12 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is given by the formula ...

  A = 1/2bh

Here, the base is 6 inches and the height is given as 4 inches. Then the area is ...

  A = (1/2)(6 in)(4 in) = 12 in²

The area of the triangle is 12 square inches.

Comment on the problem

Since you are given the base and height, we presume you are intended to use the formula above. You are also given all three side lengths. If you use the appropriate formula with those, you find the area is about 15.6 square inches. (The height of this triangle is actually closer to 5.2 inches.)

The figure represents a geometry that cannot exist. With the given base and height, the side lengths should be 5, not 6.
