Ex 4.3,1 Find area of the triangle with vertices at the point given in each of the following: (1, 0), (6, 0), (4, 3) The area of triangle is given by ∆ = 𝟏/𝟐 |■8(𝐱𝟏&𝐲𝟏&𝟏@𝐱𝟐&𝐲𝟐&𝟏@𝐱𝟑&𝐲𝟑&𝟏)| Here, x1 = 1 , y1 = 0 x2 = 6 ,y2 = 0 x3 = 4 ,y3 = 3 ∆ = 𝟏/𝟐 |■8(𝟏&𝟎&𝟏@𝟔&𝟎&𝟏@𝟒&𝟑&𝟏)| = 1/2 (1|■8(0&[email protected]&1)|−0|■8(6&[email protected]&1)|+1|■8(6&[email protected]&3)|) = 1/2 (1(0 – 3) – 0(6 – 4) + 1 (18 – 0)) = 1/2 (1(–3) + 0 + 1 (18) ) = 1/2 [–3 + 18 ] = 𝟏𝟓/𝟐 Thus, the required area of triangle is 𝟏𝟓/𝟐 square units
