Question 788024: Find the length of the sides of a triangle whose vertices are (0,0) (8,0) (4,3)

Two ways:

1.  By graphing and using Area = base×height



The base is 8 units long, the height is 3 units long:

Area = base×height 8×3 = 12 square units.

2. By determinant (which you probably haven't studied)
