Step-by-step explanation:
I assume that the three points given are the vertices of the triangle. So the three points are:
A (-4,1)
B (-7,5)
C (0,1)
The area of a triangle is given by:
where b is the base and h is the height.
Here we can take as follows:
- We can take the base to be the side AC, so that its length is equal to the distance between the two points:
- The height of the triangle is therefore the perpendicular distance between AC and point B. This is equivalent the difference in the x-coordinate between any point on AC and B, so:
Therefore, the area of the triangle is:
This is an example of the quotient of powers property and tells us that when you divide powers with the same base you just have to subtract the exponents. When you raise a quotient to a power you raise both the numerator and the denominator to the power. When you raise a number to a zero power you'll always get 1.
