When you properly graph these three points and connect them with three straight lines, you will see that the resulting triangle has a base (b) whose length is 3 units and a height (h) of 4 units.
\n" ); document.write( "The area of any triangle is given by:
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%281%2F2%29b%2Ah\" Substitute b = 3 and h = 4.
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%281%2F2%29%283%29%284%29\" Evaluate.
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+6\"sq. units.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
