Question

Triangle ABC is a right triangle

Answer 1

The answer to the question is 50 square units.

Answer 2

Answer:

50 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the picture is a right angled triangle

The coordinates of A are (-9,10) and B are (7,-2) and C is (4,-6)

Given that BC = 5 units

AB = distance between A and B

=distance between two points (-9,10) and (7,-2)

=$\sqrt{(-9-7)^2+(10+2)^2} =\sqrt{256+144} \\=20$

Thus if we consider BC as base then AB is the height

Area of triangle = 1/2 bh = 1/2 (5)(20)

= 50 square units
