Assuming that the triangle is a right triangle and 6m and 6m are the lengths of the legs (the two shorter sides), the area can be calculated using the formula:

Area = (1/2) * base * height

The base of the triangle is one of the legs, which is 6m. The height of the triangle is the other leg, which is also 6m. Therefore, the area of the triangle is:

Area = (1/2) * base * height
Area = (1/2) * 6m * 6m
Area = 18 square meters

However, if 10m is the length of the base of the triangle and 6m is the height, then the area can also be calculated using the same formula:

Area = (1/2) * base * height
Area = (1/2) * 10m * 6m
Area = 30 square meters

Therefore, the area of the triangle depends on how the given measurements correspond to the base and height of the triangle
