Area of the triangle $= 24" "$ square units

Explanation:

By inspection the $90^@$ angle is at (0, 0) then one side to the right along x-axis $=6" "$ units. Another side from the origin (0,0) going up $=8" "$ units.
Therefore, altitude $=8$
and base $=6$

$Area=1/2bh$
$Area=1/2*6*8$
$Area=24$

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.

The Perimeter $P=24" "$ units

Explanation:

The hypotenuse $c$ of the right triangle is
$c=sqrt(6^2+8^2)=sqrt(36+64)=sqrt(100)=10" "$

Perimeter $P=a+b+c=6+8+10=24 " "$ units

God bless...I hope the explanation is useful.
