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.
