342 mm²

Explanation:

The triangle shown has a base of 9 mm and a height of 76 mm. Its area is ...

A = 1/2bh

A = (1/2)(9 mm)(76 mm) = 342 mm²

The triangle shown has an area of 342 mm².

Additional comment

The other leg of the right triangle with one leg 76 mm and hypotenuse 100 mm will be about 65 mm. The base shown is 9 mm, so any triangle with the dimensions shown will be a fairly skinny obtuse triangle, not the acute triangle in the picture. (This makes us suspect an error: the 9 mm dimension maybe should be 90 mm.)
