Representation of the triangle:

This triangle, in the cartesian plane, has the vertices at these following points.

(7,7)

| -> 4 units down

(7,3) --- (10,3) -> 3 units to the right.

This can be represented as a right triangle with sides 4 and 3.

The area of a right triangle is the multiplication of the lengths of its sides divided by 2. So

4*3/2 = 12/2 = 6.

The area of the triangle is of 6 units squared.
