Find the area of the triangle with vertices `A\ (5,\ 4),\ \ B(-2,\ 4)` and `C\ (2,\ -6)` .

Explanation

We have given vertices of triangle
`A\ (5,\ 4),\ \ B(-2,\ 4)`
and `C\ (2,\ -6)`

Then we have to find area of triangle

Now as we know that

Area of triangle=`1/2|(x_1,y_1,1),(x_2,y_2,1),(x_3,y_3,1)|`

`=1/2|(-2,4,1),(2,-6,1),(5,4,1)|`

Now apply `R_2->R_2-R_1,R_3->R_3-R_1`
