Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi.

To solve the problem we need the following formula:

For the area of a triangle formed by the points (a,b) , (c,d) , (e,f):

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ [a(d - f) + c(f - b) + e (b - d)]

So, replacing the points;

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ [-3(-4) + 5(4) + 0(-5)]

Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ * 32

Area = 16 units square.

Hope it helps!

Forgive any calculation mistake :P
