Question

Find the area of the Triangle formed by the points (0,0) , (4,0) and (4,3).​

Answer 1

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

For the rectangle, Area = (6)(12) = 72

For the triangle with hypotenuse AB, Area = (1/2)(2)(8) = 8

For the triangle with hypotenuse BC, Area = (1/2)(4)(6) = 12

For the triangle with hypotenuse AC, Area = (1/2)(4)(12) = 24

Adding the areas of the little right triangles, 8 + 12 + 24 = 44

The area of triangle ABC = 72 - 44 = 28
