Expert Answer
Since the triangle is right angled, we use Pythagoras property to find the perpendicular height of the triangle.
(Base)2 + (perpendicular)2 = (Hypotenuse)2
62 + p2 = 102
36 + p2 = 100
P2 = 64 = 82
Thus, p = 8
So, the perpendicular or height of the triangle is p = 8 cm.
Thus, Area of triangle
= 
x b x p
= x 6 x 8
= 24 cm2
