Please I need your help desperately what is the area of this triangle? See attached image thank you so much

To find the area of the given traingle we have to draw perpendicular from point 'J' which meets the x axis at point (2,0) and let us named it 'P'.
As we know that area of triangle is
[tex] = \frac{1}{2}\times b \times h [\tex]
Here base 'b' will be LK and height 'h' will be JP
Here,
LK= 4 units JP=4 units
Area ={1}{2} *(4)*(4)
On solving the equation we get,
Area=8 Sq units
