Question Triangle ABC has vertices at A(1,2), B(4,0) and C(1,-4) Find the area of triangle ABC. PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW YOU DID IT
The area of triangle ABC from the given vertices is gotten as; 7.5 How to find the area of a triangle? We are given the vertices of the triangle as; A(1, 2) B(4, 0) C(1,-4) The formula for area of a triangle with 3 vertices is; Area = ¹/₂[x₁(y₂ – y₃) + x₂(y₃ – y₁) + x₃(y₁ – y₂)] Thus; Area = ¹/₂[1(0 + 4) + 4(-4 – 1) + 1(1 – 0)] Area = ¹/₂(4 – 20 + 1) Area = -7.5 Read more about area of triangle at; https://brainly.com/question/17335144 #SPJ1 Log in to Reply
