Nnesha (nnesha):

what's the formula to find area of triangle ? and ofc we need numbers to plugin what would be the coordinates ???

Nnesha (nnesha):

or just count the unit.

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*b*h\]

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

The height would be 2 ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

well for this type of shapes where we can't easily find the coordinates and we can't count the unit |dw:1452656151512:dw| first we need to convert the triangle into different where we can find the units of each side

OpenStudy (dayakar):

write co-ordinates of three vertices of the triangle

Nnesha (nnesha):

2 ???

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

|dw:1452656488992:dw|

Nnesha (nnesha):

there are two ways 1st) draw a rectangle that passes through those 3 coordinates or 2nd) divide the given triangle into two triangles

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1452656631145:dw| first find the area of rectangle area of rectangle = L * w

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

3*5=15

OpenStudy (dayakar):

A(x1,y1)= (3,5), B(x2,y2) = (4 ,7) , C(x3,y3) = (8,4) if we take scale 1unit each side @Nnesha , am i right

Nnesha (nnesha):

area of rectangle - area of all shaded triangles |dw:1452656855381:dw|
