Find the area of a triangle whose vertices have the coordinates (-1,1) (-1,5) (4,1)

Mathematics

The triangle that forms is a right-angled triangle. To work out the area, you just do the base × height, all divided by 2.

Therefore, you do 5 (the base) × 4 (the height) and you get 20.

Then you divide by 2 to finish the equation and you should find that the total area of the triangle is 10 units² (20 ÷ 2 = 10).

Hope that helps :)

Answer:  6.403 miles; or, write as:  6.403 mi.  .
__________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________





                                5
--------------------------------------------
`                             right angle   |_ |
   `          (right triangle )                 |
         `                                               |    4 
             `                                           |
                      `    
       "c"                        `                  \        
 (hypotenuse)                          Starting point
                     
__________________________________________________
Since we have a "right triangle, we solve for "c"; using the 
"Pythagorean theorem" ; 
_______________________________________________________
→  a² + b² = c² ; Solve for "c" ; our answer (in "miles"; or, "mi.") ;
__________________________________________________
Given : a = 4; b = 5 ; 
____________________________
Plug these known values into our equation:
________________________________________
 → 4² + 5² = c² ; 
____________________________
 → 16 + 25 = c² ;  ↔  c² = 16 + 25 ;
______________________________
 → c² = 41 ; 
_______________________________
 → Take the positive square root of each side of the equation (since the side of a "triangle" cannot be "negative"; 
__________________________________
 → √(c²) = √(41) ; 
_____________________________
 → c =  √41 ; Use calculator;
________________________________
 → c =  6.40312423743 ; Round to:  

 → c = 6.403 miles; or, 6.403 mi.
