The area (in sq. units) of the triangle whose vertices are \((0,0),(a, 0),(0, b)\), is equal to

  1. A \(a^2\)
  2. B \(|a b|\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{2}|a b|\)
  4. D \(b^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{2}|a b|\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Area \( = \frac{1}{2} |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)|\) Area \( = \frac{1}{2} |0(0 - b) + a(b - 0) + 0(0 - 0)|\) Area \( = \frac{1}{2} |ab|\)
