Answer 1

To calculate the area of a triangle using its vertex coordinates, we can use the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left| x_1(y_2-y_3) + x_2(y_3-y_1) + x_3(y_1-y_2) \right| \]

Where \((x_1, y_1)\), \((x_2, y_2)\), and \((x_3, y_3)\) are the coordinates of the triangle's vertices.

Please provide the coordinates of the triangle's vertices for me to calculate the area.
