Area of Triangle ABC with Height

Consider triangle ABC, where point D is on side AC. If AD = 3, DC = 5, and the height from B to line AC is 4, what is the area of triangle ABC? Round your answer to the nearest square unit.

Use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is given by:

$$A = \f\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$$
