172. Find the area of the ∆ABC with vertices A(-5, 7), B(-4, -5), and C(4, 5).


Given points are A(-5, 7), B(-4, 5) and C(4, 5).
Here, we have
x1 = -5,    y1 = 7
x2 = -4,    y2 -5
and    x3 = 4,    y3 = 5
Area of ∆ABC

equals 1 half left square bracket straight x subscript 1 left parenthesis straight y subscript 2 minus straight y subscript 3 right parenthesis plus straight x subscript 2 left parenthesis straight y subscript 3 minus straight y subscript 1 right parenthesis plus straight x subscript 3 left parenthesis straight y subscript 1 minus straight y subscript 2 right parenthesis right square bracket
equals 1 half left square bracket negative 5 left parenthesis negative 5 minus 5 right parenthesis plus left parenthesis negative 4 right parenthesis left parenthesis 5 minus 7 right parenthesis plus 4 left parenthesis 7 plus 5 right parenthesis right square bracket
equals 1 half left square bracket negative 5 straight x minus 10 plus left parenthesis negative 4 straight x minus 2 right parenthesis plus 4 space straight x space 12
equals 1 half left square bracket 50 space plus space 8 space plus space 48 right square bracket
equals 1 half left square bracket 106 right square bracket equals 53 space sq. space units
Hence area of the ∆ABC = 53 sq. units.
