Find the area of a triangle with the given vertices.
1 answer:
Answer:
the area of the triangle is <u>4 square units.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Plotting the points, we can see that the triangle is isosceles lying in the 4th quadrant of graph.
we can break the triangle in 2 similar right angled triangles,
each with base 2 and height 2 units.
area of triangle is given by the formula,
A=
thus, A=
A=2 square units.
there are 2 such triangles,
thus total area is 4 square units.
