a = 18 cm    b = 10 cm 

perimeter a + b + c = 42 cm

semi-perimeter = 21 cm

c = 42 cm - 18 - 10 cm = 14 cm

Area of triangle =
[tex] \sqrt{21(21-18)(21-10)(21-14)} \\ \\ \sqrt{7*3*11*7} \\ 7 \sqrt{33} cm^{2} \\ \\ Altitude = \frac{2* 7 \sqrt{33} }{14} \\ \sqrt{33} \\ [/tex]

area: 7√33 cm and altitude √33 cm

a=18;b=10;c=?
perimeter=42
area=?
a+b+c=perimeter
18+10+c=42
28+c=42
c=14
area=√s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
s=(a+b+c)/2
s=42/2
s=21
=√21(21-18)(21-10)(21-14)
=√21*3*11*7
=√7*3*7*3*11
=7*3√11
=21√11
area=21√11
altitude is same method done by Kvnmurty
