Area of a triangle = 0.5 x base x height
                            = 0.5 x 2.5 x 8.75
                            = 10.94 (units squared)

My Geometry teacher used to say, 

"My students, ahh. Textbooks. They say, 'My pretty little students, here's a formula! I will give you numbers and you plug it in.' Then he would say, 'I don't like textbooks. I'm a rebel! So, I derive the formula.'" 

He made us derive it. But the formula is this: 1/2 x b x h. Why? The real formula is because two equal triangles are both HALF of a PARALLELOGRAM. 

Parallelogram area formula is b x h, or base x height. So half of that? 
(b x h) / 2, or 1/2 x b x h.

Plug this in. 

Assuming your triangle is equilateral, I plug in 2.5 for the base and 8.75 for the height. 

So, what's 1/2 x 2.5 x 8.75?

It's 10.9375.

Rounded, it's 10.94.

You have it.

Just remember, it's about WHY this formula works.

Calculus 3 chapter 16​

Evaluate \vec F at \vec r :

\vec F(x,y,z) = x\,\vec\imath + y\,\vec\jmath + xy\,\vec k \\\\ \implies \vec F(\vec r(t)) = \vec F(\cos(t), \sin(t), t) = \cos(t)\,\vec\imath + \sin(t)\,\vec\jmath + \sin(t)\cos(t)\,\vec k

Compute the line element d\vec r :

d\vec r = \dfrac{d\vec r}{dt} dt = \left(-\sin(t)\,\vec\imath+\cos(t)\,\vec\jmath+\vec k\bigg) \, dt

Simplifying the integrand, we have

\vec F\cdot d\vec r = \bigg(-\cos(t)\sin(t) + \sin(t)\cos(t) + \sin(t)\cos(t)\bigg) \, dt \\ ~~~~~~~~= \sin(t)\cos(t) \, dt \\\\ ~~~~~~~~= \dfrac12 \sin(2t) \, dt

Then the line integral evaluates to

\displaystyle \int_C \vec F\cdot d\vec r = \int_0^\pi \frac12\sin(2t)\,dt \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = -\frac14\cos(2t) \bigg|_{t=0}^{t=\pi} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = -\frac14(\cos(2\pi)-\cos(0)) = \boxed{0}
