What is the area of a triangle whose vertices are (0,4), (0,0) and (3,0)?
6 square units
Given the vertices of the triangle are (0,4), (0,0), (3,0).
Now (0,4) lies on Y-axis, (3,0) lies on X-axis and (0,0) is origin. So this triangle is a right-angled triangle.
Now the distance between (0,0) and (0,4) = 4 units and distance between (0,0) and (3,0) = 3 units
Area of given triangle
=12×3×4
= 6 square units
