  4. D 2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{AB} = B - A = (-1-2, 0-3) = (-3, -3)\) \(\vec{AD} = C - B = (4-(-1), 6-0) = (5, 6)\) \(\text{Area} = |x_{\vec{AB}} y_{\vec{AD}} - x_{\vec{AD}} y_{\vec{AB}}|\) \(\text{Area} = |(-3)(6) - (5)(-3)|\) \(\text{Area} = |-18 - (-15)|\) \(\text{Area} = |-3|\) \(\text{Area} = 3\)
