Area of triangle with vertices (x1,y1), (X2, y2), (X3, y3)
={ (X1 (Y2-Y3)+X2 (Y3-Y1)+X3(Y1-Y2) }. /2
Hence:- (X1,Y1)= (-2,-3)
( X2,Y2)=(3,20)
(X3,Y3)=(-1,-8)
we get,
{-2(20-(-8))+3(-8-(-3))+(-1)(-3-20)} /2
{-2(20+8)+3(-8+3)-1(-3-20)} /2
{-2(28)+3(-5)-1(-23)}. /2
{-56-15+20} /2
{-71+23} /2
{-48} /2
-24
so the area of triangle is -24
