Question

Find area of the triangle with vertices at the point given in each of the following:

(i) (1, 0), (6, 0), (4, 3) 

(ii) (2, 7), (1, 1), (10, 8)
(iii) (−2, −3), (3, 2), (−1, −8)

Answer 1

(i) The area of the triangle with vertices (1, 0), (6, 0), (4, 3) is given by the relation,

(ii) The area of the triangle with vertices (2, 7), (1, 1), (10, 8) is given by the relation,

(iii) The area of the triangle with vertices (−2, −3), (3, 2), (−1, −8) is given by the relation,

Hence, the area of the triangle is
