units²


Sagot :

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
