what's the formula to find area of triangle ? and ofc we need numbers to plugin what would be the coordinates ???
or just count the unit.
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*b*h\]
The height would be 2 ?
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
write co-ordinates of three vertices of the triangle
2 ???
|dw:1452656488992:dw|
there are two ways 1st) draw a rectangle that passes through those 3 coordinates or 2nd) divide the given triangle into two triangles
|dw:1452656631145:dw| first find the area of rectangle area of rectangle = L * w
3*5=15
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
area of rectangle - area of all shaded triangles |dw:1452656855381:dw|
