Answer:

A = 24 cm²

Explanation:

The area (A) of Δ ABC is calculated as

A =
(1)/(2) × 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 =
√(64) = 8

Then

A = 0.5 × 6 × 8 = 24 cm²
