Finding the area of a triangle from a word problem

The video tutorial guides students through solving a problem involving the area of a triangle. It begins by introducing the problem and setting up the equation for the area of a triangle. The instructor explains how to express the base in terms of the height and uses substitution to solve for the height. Once the height is determined, the instructor demonstrates how to find the base using the known height. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the relationship between the base and height in the context of the area formula.
