Explanation
We are given the following:
[tex]\begin{gathered} base=12cm \\ height=8cm \\ hypotenuse=10cm \end{gathered}[/tex]
We are required to determine the area of the triangle using the formula below:
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]
The area can be calculated as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\times12\times8 \\ Area=48\text{ }square\text{ }units \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, the area of the triangle is 48 square units.
