Question

Find the area of the triangle whose vertices are (-8,-2),(-4,-6)and(-1,5)​

Answer 1

Answer:

28 unit square

Step-by-step explanation:

area of triangle is 1/2 (x1 (y2-y3)+x2 (y3-y1)+x3 (y1-y2))

area of triangle = 1/2 (-8 (-6-5)+(-4)(5-(-2))+(-1)(-2-(-6))

1/2 (-8 (-11)-4 (7)-1 (4))

1/2 (88+(-28)+(-4))

1/2 (56)

area=28 unit square
