Area of a triangle with verticals of (-4,1),(-7,5),(0,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that the three points given are the vertices of the triangle. So the three points are:

A (-4,1)

B (-7,5)

C (0,1)

The area of a triangle is given by:

where b is the base and h is the height.

Here we can take as follows:

- We can take the base to be the side AC, so that its length is equal to the distance between the two points:

- The height of the triangle is therefore the perpendicular distance between AC and point B. This is equivalent the difference in the x-coordinate between any point on AC and B, so:

Therefore, the area of the triangle is:

answer:

the domain is the set { -2, 0, 2, 3}

discussion:

the domain is the set of x values in the ordered pairs (x,y). taking the x, or first component, of each ordered pair gives   -2, 0, 2, 3.
