1. **State the problem:** Find the domain of the function $$f(x) = \frac{\sqrt{x - 2}}{x^2 - 4}$$.
2. **Recall domain rules:**
- The expression inside the square root must be \(\geq 0\) because the square root of a negative number is not real.
- The denominator cannot be zero because division by zero is undefined.
3. **Apply the square root domain condition:**
$$x - 2 \geq 0 \implies x \geq 2$$
4. **Apply the denominator restriction:**
$$x^2 - 4 \neq 0 \implies (x - 2)(x + 2) \neq 0 \implies x \neq 2 \text{ and } x \neq -2$$
5. **Combine conditions:**
- From step 3, \(x \geq 2\)
- From step 4, \(x \neq 2\)
So the domain is $$x > 2$$.
6. **Final answer:**
The domain of $$f(x)$$ is $$\boxed{(2, \infty)}$$ which corresponds to option c.
