Answer:
Explanation:
Given the coordinates of the triangle as:
B(2, -8), C(-6, -2), and D(-7, -5)
The area is obtained using the formula:
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\begin{bmatrix}{x_1} & y_1{} & {1} \\ {x_2} & {y_2} & {1} \\ {x_3} & {y_3} & {1}\end{bmatrix}[/tex]
Using the given parameters, we have:
[tex]undefined[/tex]
