In the rectangular coordinate system shown in the figure, the vertex coordinates of △ ABC are a (2,0) B (- 1, - 4) C (3, - 3) respectively, and the area is calculated

In the rectangular coordinate system shown in the figure, the vertex coordinates of △ ABC are a (2,0) B (- 1, - 4) C (3, - 3) respectively, and the area is calculated

Draw a picture first
Then make a vertical line of X axis through B and C, and perpendicular to B ', C'
Then △ ABC area = area of bcc'b '- △ bb'a area - △ cc'a area
Δ ABC area = (3 + 4) * 4 / 2 - 4 * 3 / 2 - 1 * 3 / 2 = 6.5
