What is an area of a base of 7 centimeters and a height of 12?
If it is a rectangle then area = base × height = 7cm × 12 cm = 84 cm². If it is a triangle (more likely given the terminology used) then area = ½ base × height = ½ × 7 cm × 12 cm = 42 cm²
Can you explain why the area of a triangle is 1 half base height while the area rectangle or a parallelogram is expressed as base height?
If you draw a diagonal in a rectangle you get two equal triangles, each half the area of the rectangle. Area of rectangle is base x height, so half of that is ½ x base x height. QED
How do you find the base of a rectangle when you no the area and the height?
Divide the area by the height
Can you find the area of a rectangle if the problem doesn't show you the base and height?
The one alternative to find the area of a rectangle is when you are given the length of one diagonal and its slope.
What is the base of a rectangle with height of 4 and area of 28?

Why is the area of a rectangle base times height?
A rectangle is a good, simple shape to begin with. The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length of its base and the length of its height. The height is a segment that is perpendicular to the base. For a rectangle, the base and height are often called the "length" and the "width", and sometimes the height is referred to as the "altitude."
