Question

Find the area of triangle whose vertices are

M(0, 5), N(−2, 3), T(1, −4)

Sum

Solution

Here, M(x1, y1) ≡ M(0, 5), N(x2, y2) ≡ N(−2, 3), T(x3, y3) ≡ T(1, −4)

Area of a triangle = `1/2|(x_1, y_1, 1),(x_2, y_2, 1),(x_3, y_3, 1)|`

∴ A(ΔMNT) = `1/2|(0, 5, 1),(-2, 3, 1),(1, -4, 1)|`

= `1/2[0 - 5 (-2 - 1) + 1(8 - 3)]`

= `1/2[-5 (-3) + 1(5)]`

= `1/2(15 + 5)`

= `1/2(20)`

=  10 sq. units
