Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 94

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Area of triangle formed by midpoints \( = \frac{1}{2} |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| \) \( = \frac{1}{2} |2(1 - 8) + 1(8 - 7) + 10(7 - 1)| = \frac{1}{2} |-14 + 1 + 60| = \frac{47}{2} \)
