What is the area of a triangle with a base of $8\text{meters}$ and a height of $16\text{meters}$?

The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is given by:
$$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{base}\times \text{height}$$

Substituting the given values into the formula:

$$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}\times 8\text{m}\times 16\text{m}=4\times 16=64{\text{m}}^2$$
