Answer:
a). Area = 54 square units
b). Perimeter = 33.7 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertices of the triangle ABC are A(-4, -2), B(1, 7) and C(8, -2).
(a). Area of the triangle ABC = (Absolute value)
By substituting the values from the given vertices,
Area =
=
=
= (-54) unit²
Therefore, absolute value of the area = 54 square units
(b). Distance between two vertices (a, b) and (c, d)
d =
AB =
=
= 10.295 units
BC =
=
= 11.402 units
AC =
= 12 units
Perimeter of the triangle = AB + BC + AC = 10.295 + 11.402 + 12
= 33.697
≈ 33.7 units
