Find the area of ΔABC whose vertices are A(-3, -5), B(5, 2) and C(-9, -3).
Given: The vertices of the triangle are A(-3, -5), B(5, 2) and C(-9, -3).
Formula: Area of Δ ABC
Here,
x1 = -3, y1 = -5
x2 = 5, y2 = 2
x3 = -9, y3 = -3
Putting the values,
Area of Δ ABC
= 29 square units.
Therefore, the area of Δ ABC is 29 square units.
