Question 139

If G is the centroid of the triangle $$\triangle ABC$$ with vertices A(-2, 3), B(-7. 5) and C(3, -5) then the area of $$\triangle GAB$$ (in sq. units) is

A =Β (-2, 3), B =Β (-7, 5) and C =Β (3, -5)

G =Β $$\frac{(-2) + (-7) + 3}{3}$$,$$\frac{3 + 5 + (-5)}{3}$$ = (-2, 1)

Area ofΒ $$\triangle GAB$$ =Β $$\frac{1}{2}$$[(-2)(5 - 1) + (-7)(1 - 3) + (-2)(3 - 5)]

=Β $$\frac{1}{2}$$[-8 +Β 14 + 4]

=Β $$\frac{1}{2}$$ * 10

= 5Β sq. units
