If you know the total area and the height are known, you can find the base.

Area=(1/2)(base)(height), so if you know the height and area you can solve for the base. So now, Base=Area/(1/2)(height)

What is the area of a triangle with base 12cm and height?

The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height. To understand this, think of a rectangle or a square. To calculate the area of this object you would use length * width (which is the same as base * height). If you cut this object in half, you get a triangle. So that area of any triangle is 1/2 * base * height. I cannot answer your question because you are missing the triangle's height but you should be able to use the formula above to calculate the answer on your own.
