Answer:
-----------------------------
We are given the vertices:
- A= (-1.1). B (3,-5) and C (3, 3)
Use the formula:
- A = (1/2) * |(x₁ * (y₂ - y₃) + x₂ * (y₃ - y₁) + x₃ * (y₁ - y₂))|
Plug in the coordinates of the vertices:
- A =
- (1/2) * |((-1) * (-5 - 3) + 3 * (3 - 1) + 3 * (1 - (-5)))| =
- (1/2) * |(-1 * (-8) + 3 * (2) + 3 * (6))| =
- (1/2) * |(8 + 6 + 18)| =
- (1/2) * (32) =
- 16
So, the area of triangle is 16 square units.
