Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume a triangle PQR, whose coordinates P, Q, and R are given as (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3), respectively.
From the figure, the area of a triangle PQR, lines such as
←→ ←→ ←→
Q
A
, P
B and R
C are drawn from Q, P, and R, respectively perpendicular to the x-axis.
Now, three different trapeziums are formed such as PQAB, PBCR, and QACR in the coordinate plane.
Now, calculate the area of all the trapeziums.
Therefore, the area of ∆PQR is calculated as Area of ∆PQR=[Area of trapezium PQAB + Area of trapezium PBCR] -[Area of trapezium QACR] —(1)
Finding Area of a Trapezium PQAB
We know that the formula to find the area of a trapezium is
Since Area of a trapezium = (1/2) (sum of the parallel sides)×(distance between them)
Area of trapezium PQAB = (1/2)(QA + PB) × AB
QA =
PB =
AB = OB – OA = –
Area of trapezium PQAB = (1/2)( + )( – ) —-(2)
Finding Area of a Trapezium PBCR
Area of trapezium PBCR =(1/2) (PB + CR) × BC
PB =
CR =
BC = OC – OB = –
Area of trapezium PBCR =(1/2) (+ )(– ) —-(3)
Finding Area of a Trapezium QACR
Area of trapezium QACR = (1/2) (QA + CR) × AC
QA =
CR =
AC = OC – OA = –
Area of trapezium QACR =(1/2)( + ) ( – )—-(4)
Substituting (2), (3), and (4) in (1),
Area of ∆PQR = (1/2)[( + )( – ) + ( + ) – ) – ( + ) ( – )]
= (1/2) [ ( – ) + ( – ) + (
