Show that the points R (-1,2), K (5,2) and O (2,5) are the vertices of an isosceles triangle.
-------------------
Find the lengths of RO and KO
For RO:
For KO:
They're the same length --> isoceles.
The length of KR = 6 --> not equilateral.
---------------------
---------------------
Find the area of triangle RKO.
----------------
Write the points in columns, repeating the 1st point
R K O R
-1 5 2 -1
+2 2 5 +2
----------
Add the diagonal products from upper left:
(-1*2) + 5*5 + 2*2 = 27
Add the diagonal products from lower left:
2*5 + 2*2 + 5*(-1) = 9
------------------
The area = 1/2 the difference
Area = (1/2)*(27-9) = 9 sq units
