$15 sq.unit$ $15"sq.unit"$ .

$The angle btwn. sides A and B, i.e., ∠ (A, B) = \frac{π}{2}$ $"The angle btwn. sides A and B, i.e.," /_(A,B)=pi/2$ .

So, if we consider the side $B$ $B$ as Base, then side $A$ $A$ becomes

altitude on the base. Therefore,

The Area of the $Δ = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times altitude$ $Delta=1/2xx"base"xx"altitude"$

$=1/2*5*6=15"sq.unit"$ .
