.
This triangle is a right-angled (3,4,5)-triangle.
Its sides 6'' and 8'' are the legs: they intersect each other at the 90 degrees angle.
Therefore, you may consider one leg as a base, and the other leg as the height (the altitude).
Now apply the formula of your post and calculate the area of the triangle.
