1 answer:
Answer:
√65/2 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached
Area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * height
To get the base and height, we will use the distance formula;
Area of the triangle LMN = 1/2 * LM * MN
For MN
Given the coordinate M(3, 2) and N(1, 3)
MN = √(3-2)²+(1-3)²
MN = √1²+(-2)²
MN = √1+4
MN = √5
For LM;
Given the coordinate L(1, -1) and M(3, 2)
LM = √(2-(-1))²+(3-1)²
LM = √(2+1)²+(2)²
LM = √3²+(2)²
LM = √9+4
LM = √13
Area of the triangle LMN = 1/2 * √13 * √5
Area of the triangle LMN = √65/2 square units
