Multiple Select Questions (MSQ):

Question 3: Which of the following gives the area (A) of a triangle whose vertices are P(x₁, y₁), Q(x₂, y₂), R(x₃, y₃)?

Options:

  • A=12[x1(y2y3)+x2(y3y1)+x3(y1y2)]A = \frac{1}{2}|[x₁(y₂ - y₃) + x₂(y₃ - y₁) + x₃(y₁ - y₂)]|
  • A=12[x2(y3y1)+x1(y2y3)+x3(y2y1)]A = \frac{1}{2}|[x₂(y₃ - y₁) + x₁(y₂ - y₃) + x₃(y₂ - y₁)]|
  • A=12[x1(y2y3)+x3(y1y2)+x2(y3y2)]A = \frac{1}{2}|[x₁(y₂ - y₃) + x₃(y₁ - y₂) + x₂(y₃ - y₂)]|
  • A=12[x3(y1y2)+x1(y2y3)+x2(y3y1)]A = \frac{1}{2}|[x₃(y₁ - y₂) + x₁(y₂ - y₃) + x₂(y₃ - y₁)]|
