The area \( A \) of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
For the given triangle, the base is 10 cm and the height is 6 cm. Plugging these values into the formula:
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \, \text{cm} \times 6 \, \text{cm}
\]
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 60 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
\[
A = 30 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
Therefore, the area of the triangle is \( 30 \, \text{cm}^2 \).
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
