The vertices of a right- angled triangle are A(1,0), B(7.0) and C(1,6). Plot the points A, B and C on the cartesian plane below. Hence find the area of ABC

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]A=21[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Co-ordinates

[tex]A(1,0), B(7.0)\ and\ C(1,6)[/tex]

Hence Plotting the Cartesian plane we have

Base [tex]b=7[/tex]

Height [tex]h=6[/tex]

Generally the equation for The Area of a Triangle  is mathematically given by

 [tex]A=\frac{1}{2}b*h[/tex]

 [tex]A=\frac{1}{2}*7*6[/tex]

 [tex]A=3.5*6[/tex]

 [tex]A=21[/tex]
