    The area of triangle with vertices A (3, 0), B (7, 0) and C (8, 4)

    A)  14       

    B)  28     

    C)  8

    D)  6

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The area of the \[\Delta ABC\]whose points \[A\equiv ({{x}_{1}}{{y}_{1}}),\]\[B\equiv ({{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}})\] and \[C\equiv \,\,({{x}_{3}},{{y}_{3}})\]are given by area of \[\Delta ABC\] \[=\left[ \frac{1}{2}[{{x}_{1}}({{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{3}})+{{x}_{2}}({{y}_{3}}-{{y}_{1}})+{{x}_{3}}({{y}_{1}}-{{y}_{2}})] \right]\] Here,     \[{{x}_{1}}=3,\]\[{{y}_{1}}=0,\]\[{{x}_{2}}=7,\]\[{{y}_{2}}=0,\]       \[{{x}_{3}}=8,\]\[{{y}_{3}}=4\] \[=\frac{1}{2}[3\,\,(0-4)+7\,\,(4-0)+8\,\,(0-0)]\] \[=\frac{1}{2}[-12+28-0]=\frac{1}{2}(16)=8\]
