Question

The area of ABC is square units​

Answer 1

Answer: The area of ABC is 50 square units.

Explanation:

Area of Triangle = $\frac{1}{2}base * height$

Base = BC = 5 units

Height = AB?

Going by the Pythagorean Theory, the distance between 2 points can be found by;

= $\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^{2} + (y2 - y1)^{2}}$

Length of AB = $\sqrt{(-9 -7)^{2} + ( 10 + 2)^{2}}$

Length of AB = 20 units

Area = $\frac{1}{2}base * height$

Area = $\frac{1}{2}* 5 * 20$

Area = 50 square units​
