The area of the triangle DEF is 2 square units
How to determine the area?
The given parameters are:
D(9,-8), E(8,-3), and F(2,-5),
The area of the triangle is calculated using:
Area = 0.5|x1 * (y2 -y3) + x2 * (y1 -y3) + x3 * (y2 -y1) |
This gives
Area = 0.5|9 * (-3 + 5) + 8 * (-8 + 5) + 2 * (-3 + 8) |
Evaluate
Area = 0.5|4|
Expand
Area = 2
Hence, the area of the triangle DEF is 2 square units
