Question

Plot and connect the points A(1, -5), B(-4, -3), C(3, -3), and find the area of the triangle it forms.

Select one:
A. 12 square units
B. 5 square units
C. 7 square units
D. 16 square units

Answer 1

So attached is the plotting of the triangle and I estimated it's area to be 7 squared units (OPTION C).

Note: in the graph i used colour codes to represent those partial squares that I used to counted as one and the gray squares are the naturally whole ones.

Hope this helps
