Vertex points

Given the following points of a triangle: P(-12,6), Q(4,0), R(-8,-6). Graph the triangle. Find the triangle area.

Correct result:

S =  84

Solution:

Px=−12;Py=6 Qx=4;Qy=0 Rx=−8;Ry=−6  r=(Px−Qx)2+(Py−Qy)2=((−12)−4)2+(6−0)2=2 73≐17.088 p=(Rx−Qx)2+(Ry−Qy)2=((−8)−4)2+((−6)−0)2=6 5≐13.4164 q=(Rx−Px)2+(Ry−Py)2=((−8)−(−12))2+((−6)−6)2=4 10≐12.6491  s=r+p+q2=17.088+13.4164+12.64912≐21.5768  S=s⋅ (s−r)⋅ (s−p)⋅ (s−q)=21.5768⋅ (21.5768−17.088)⋅ (21.5768−13.4164)⋅ (21.5768−12.6491)=84
