### Area of Triangles

#### 1. Calculate the Area of the Following Triangles:

**(a)** 
- This triangle has a base of 5 cm and a height of 3 cm.
- The triangle includes a 45° angle.

#### 2. Work Out the Area of the Following Isosceles Triangles:

**(a)** 
- This isosceles triangle has two equal sides, each measuring 6 cm.
- It has a height marked as a dashed line from the vertex opposite the base to the midpoint of the base.
- The height forms a right angle with the base.
- The angle adjacent to the height is 15°.

**(b)** 
- This part is not visible in the image provided.

For an educational resource about calculating the area of triangles:

- **Step-by-Step Instructions:**
  1. Identify the base and height of the triangle.
  2. Use the formula: Area = 1/2 × Base × Height.
  3. For triangles involving angles and sides, trigonometric methods can be applied.

- **Graph/Diagram Explanation:**
  - **(1a)** shows a right triangle with specified measurements for base (5 cm), height (3 cm), and one angle being 45°.
  - **(2a)** shows an isosceles triangle with each equal side measuring 6 cm, the height of the triangle marked explicitly, forming two right triangles within the isosceles triangle, and an internal angle of 15°.
