Q7 of 184 Page 10

Find the area of a triangle ABC if the coordinates of the middle points of the sides of the triangle are (-1, - 2), (6, 1) and (3, 5).

Given: Coordinates of middle points are D(-1, -2), E(6, 1) and F(3, 5).


To find: Area of triangle ABC



Area of triangle


Now Area of triangle DEF




square units


Hence the area of ABC is square units
