Answer:
Area of Right Triangle=24 Square Units
Step-by-step explanation:
Base=8cm
Hypotenuse=10cm
Using pythagoras Theorem
AB²+BC²=AC²
BC=Base
AC=Hypotenuse
AB²+8²=10²
AB²=100-64
AB²=36
AB=√36
AB=6cm
AB= Height
Area of Right Triangle=1/2×Base×Height
Area of Right Triangle=1/2×8×6
Area of Right Triangle=4×6
Area of Right Triangle=24 Square Units
