If vertices of a triangle are A (5, 0), B (x, y) and C (25, 0), what is the area of the triangle?
(1) |x| = y = 10
(2) x = |y| = 10
Dear GMATGuruNYexpert, I need to understand by drawing how statement 1 is suff
I used this formula X1(Y2-Y3)+X2(Y3-Y1)+X3(Y1-Y2)/2 to find the triangle area and the answer was D
but i really confused when i tried to draw statement 1 especially in the case x,y=(-10, 10) i do not
know how to get the height equal to 10 In the green triangle I need to
understand which side is the height and how it equal to 10.I really confused Sad Sad Sad
