To find the area of the right triangle, we first need to determine which two sides form the right angle. By calculating the slopes of AB, BC, and AC, we find that AB and BC are perpendicular. The length of AB is 12.04 and BC is 10. The area is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 12.04 * 10 = 29 square units.
