The simple answer: 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the area of a triangle in most cases is simple, multiply the two sides that are not the hypotenuse (the noticeably longer side) then divide the product by two. In this case the perimeter is included because you are given one side and the hypotenuse. With simple 12+14=26 and 34-26=8 you have the other side you need. So 12 times eight equals 96 divide that by two and you have the answer 48.
