Question

What expression represents the area of the triangle​

Answer 1

1/2 times 10 times 24

Explanation:

The hypotenuse is across the right angle so it can’t be included in the area of the triangle which is 26 and 10^2 + 24^2=26^2 by Pathagorean Theron

Answer 2

The first choice

Explanation:

Area of a triangle is 1/2x base x height

the base is 10 and height is 24

26 is the hypotenuse but it is not used in calculating the area
