Use the Area of triangle formula

1/2 mod( ( X1-X2)* (Y2-Y3) - (Y1-Y2)( Y2-Y3))

there fore

1/2 mod ( -4* (-4) - (-3)*3 )

1/2 mod (25) = 12.5

hope its clear...

Thats actually the formula for area of the triangle when 3 points are given in cood geometry,

( 0,3) is (X1,Y1)
(4,0) is (X2,Y2)
(7,4) is ( X3,Y3)

You need to remember the formula..

do let me know if u are still in doubt

Another way.

The are of the triangle we want is in a rectangle with is 7 length and 4 wide (so this rectangle has an area of 28).
Now let's subtract to this area the 3 right triangles.
Triangle OPQ: (4*3)/2=6
2nd triangle: (1*7)/2=3,5
3rd triangle: (3*4)/2=6

The sum of the area of these 3 triangles is 15,5
We subtract it to the area of the rectangle and we have the area of PQR:
28-15,5=12,5

I don't think it is a paramount point, but what does "mod" mean in your formula?
