Question

What is the area of this triangle in the coordinate plane ASAP

Answer 1

24 units²

Explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated using the formula

A =
`(1)/(2)` bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

Here b = 8 ( measured along the x- axis) and

h = 6 ( measured along the y- axis )

A =
`(1)/(2)` × 8 × 6 =
`(1)/(2)` × 48 = 24 units²

Answer 2

It’s roughly 24 units2
