[Tutor] BEGINNER - HELP!!!

[cool kid]

Hi Leonard,
	I believe this has something to do with your indentation. Try this:
>>> def rectangle_area(base,height):    
 		area_a = base*height    
		print("The area is " + str(area_a))
>>> rectangle_area(5,6)

Cheers,
Cravan

    Help please, 
    I just started learning python and I need assistance with the below code: 
    def rectangle_area(base,height):    area_a = base*height    print("The area is " + str(area_a))
        rectangle_area(5,6)

    I am getting the error below when I run it :Error on line 7: print("The area is " + str(area_a)) ^TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
    I understand where the error is but I cannot seem to rectify it. Thank you.
    Kind Regards, Leonard Ujomu
