Find the area (in square units) of a triangle whose vertices are (1, -1), (-4, 6) and (-3, -5).

Options:

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Given that the coordinates of the triangle are (1, -1), (-4, 6), (-3, -5).

Let (x1, y1) = (1, -1)

(x2 , y2) = (-4, 6)

(x3 , y3) = (-3, -5)

The formula to calculate area is given by,
