A groundskeeper is tasked with fertilizing the grass of a triangular courtyard. To determine how much fertilizer he should buy, he must know the area of the courtyard. The owner informs the groundskeeper that the base of the courtyard is 2003-04-04-00-00_files/i0190000.jpg meters and the height of the courtyard is 2003-04-04-00-00_files/i0190001.jpg meters. What is the area of the courtyard? (Recall that the area of a triangle is 2003-04-04-00-00_files/i0190002.jpg, where b is the base and h is the height).
