Example 13 Find the area of the triangle formed by the points P( 1.5, 3), Q(6, 2) and R( 3, 4). Area of triangle PQR = 1/2 [ x1(y2 y3) + x2(y3 y1) + x3(y1 y2) ] Here x1 = 1.5 , y1 = 3 x2 = 6 , y2 = 2 x3 = 3 , y3 = 4 Putting values Area of triangle PQR = 1/2 [ ( 1.5)( 2 4) + 6(4 3 ) + ( 3)(3 ( 2)) ] = 1/2 [ 1.5( 6) + 6(1) + ( 3)(3 + 2) ] = 1/2 [ 1.5( 6) + 6(1) + ( 3)(5) ] = 1/2 [ 1.5( 6) + 6(1) + ( 3)(5) ] = 1/2 [ 9 + 6 15 ] = 1/2 [ 0 ] = 0
