Question

triangle OPQ with vertices O (-9,6) P(-5,7),and Q(-6,9) drawn in a rectangle. what is the area in square units of triangle OPQ

Answer 1

Given that the triangle is inscribed in the rectangle, the area of the triangle is half the rectangle area.

$A=b\times h$

Where b = 4, and h = 3.

$A=4\times3=12$

Hence, the area of the triangle is 12 square units.
