    Find the area of the triangle whose vertices are (2,3),\[(-\,\,1,0)\]and \[(2,-\,\,4)\]

    A)  \[\frac{15}{2}\]

    B)                     \[\frac{13}{7}\]

    C)  \[\frac{21}{2}\]

    D)  \[\frac{23}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let \[A=({{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}})=(2,3),\]\[B=({{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}})\] \[=(-1,0),\]\[C=({{x}_{3}},{{x}_{3}})=(2-4)\] Area of \[\Delta ABC=\frac{1}{2}[{{x}_{1}}({{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{3}})+{{x}_{2}}\]\[({{y}_{3}}-{{y}_{1}})+{{x}_{3}}({{y}_{1}}-{{y}_{2}})]\] \[=\frac{1}{2}[2\,\,(0+4)+(-1)(-4-3)+2\,\,(3-0)]\] \[=\frac{1}{2}(8+7+6)=\frac{21}{2}\]sq units
