Question

Find the area of a triangle with vertices at N(-4,2), A(3,2)and P(-1,-4).

Answer 1

The distance between points N and A is 7, and we can take that as the base of the tringle (up side down)

The distance between the base (NA) and the point P is 6, and we can take that as the height of the triangle

Area of a triangle = (Base x Height)/2

Area = (7 x 6)/2 = 42/2 = 21

Answer:

Area = 21
