Answer:
A = 24 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of Δ ABC is calculated as
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × AB × AC
Calculate AC using Pythagoras' identity
AC² + AB² = BC²
AC² + 6² = 10²
AC² + 36 = 100 ( subtract 36 from both sides )
AC² = 64 ( take the square root of both sides )
AC = [tex]\sqrt{64}[/tex] = 8
Then
A = 0.5 × 6 × 8 = 24 cm²
