The area of the triangle whose vertices are \((3,8),(-4,2)\) and \((5,1)\) is

  1. A 30
  2. B \(\frac{ 6 1 }{ 2 }\)
  3. C \(\frac{ 3 1 }{ 2 }\)
  4. D 61
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{ 6 1 }{ 2 }\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Area = \frac{1}{2} |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)|\) \(Area = \frac{1}{2} |3(2 - 1) + (-4)(1 - 8) + 5(8 - 2)|\) \(Area = \frac{1}{2} |3(1) - 4(-7) + 5(6)|\) \(Area = \frac{1}{2} |3 + 28 + 30|\) \(Area = \frac{61}{2}\)
