Question

The area of ABC is square units​

Answer 1

Answer: The area of ABC is 50 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Triangle =
`(1)/(2)base * height`

Base = BC = 5 units

Height = AB?

Going by the Pythagorean Theory, the distance between 2 points can be found by;

=
`\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^(2) + (y2 - y1)^(2)}`

Length of AB =
`\sqrt{(-9 -7)^(2) + ( 10 + 2)^(2)}`

Length of AB = 20 units

Area =
`(1)/(2)base * height`

Area =
`(1)/(2)* 5 * 20`

Area = 50 square units​
