Side lengths are a=6, b=6, c=4. Find the area
A=1/2*b*h
I split the triangle in half to find the height. Since the base is 4, that divided the base into 2:
2^2+h^2=6^2
4+h^2=36
h^2=32
h=4*sqrt(2)
===========
1/2*4*4*sqrt(2)=area of 8*sqrt(2)
Did I do this correctly? I do not have an answer key to the study guide I was given.
