Find the area of the triangle whose vertices are (−6,3), (5,3) and (8,7).
The Answer is 22.
Answer:
- Area of the triangle is 22 units²
------------------------------
Given
- Triangle with vertices (−6,3), (5,3) and (8,7)
Two of the vertices are on horizontal line with same y-coordinate of 3.
These two vertices form the base of the triangle which is:
- b = 5 - (-6) = 11 units long
The height is the difference of the y-coordinates of the third vertex with the first two:
- h = 7 - 3 = 4
Find the area
- A = bh/2
- A = 11*4/2 = 22 units²
