2Authored explanation

Let \(c=(63+8\sqrt{62})^{1/3}\), \(z=3/4-c/12-1/(12c)\), \(x=z/2\), and \(y=(1-z)(1-2z)\). The ten points are

\[(x,0),(1-y,0),(0,x),(1,y),(1-z,z),(z,1-z),(0,1-y),(1,1-x),(y,1),(1-x,1).\]

The parameter \(z\) is the unique real root of \(12z^3-27z^2+20z-4\), with \(z\approx0.3156111376086111\). Exact determinant reduction modulo that cubic checks all \(\binom{10}{3}=120\) triangle areas. Their minimum is

\[A=\frac{5z^2}{8}-\frac{z^3}{2}\approx0.04653741958254177256.\]

Sixteen triples attain \(A\). The remaining 104 are strictly larger. The next area is approximately 0.047806572540416697, attained by triples 134 and 568. This supplies the rigorous lower bound \(\Delta_{10}\ge A\).
