Answer:

the area of ∆ABC = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

CA=\sqrt{\left( -1-2\right)^{2}  +\left( 2-5\right)^{2}  } = \sqrt{18} =3\sqrt{2}

CB=\sqrt{\left( 5-2\right)^{2}  +\left( 2-5\right)^{2}  } = \sqrt{18} =3\sqrt{2}

<em>Since</em> CA = CB  <em>then</em>  A(-1,2), B (5,2) and C (2,5) are the vertices of an isosceles triangle.

Area calculation:

Let The point H be the midpoint of side AB

x_{H}=\frac{-1+5}{2} =2\\y_{H}=\frac{2+2}{2} =2

Then

H(2 , 2)

therefore,

CH=\sqrt{\left( 2-2{}\right)^{2}  +\left( 2-5\right)^{2}  } =3

Finally,

\text{the area of triangle ABC} =\frac{\text{CH} \times \text{AB} }{2} =\frac{3\times 6}{2} =9
