The vertices are
and
.
Find the vectors u and v by using the vertices.
\If
and
are the two vertices, then the component form of the vector u is

If
and
are the two vertices, then the component form of the vector v is

The cross product of
and
is


Find the area of the triangle.
\Consider u and v are the adjacent sides of the triangle.
\So the area of the triangle is
.

The area of the triangle is
