Verified answer
Step-by-step explanation:
area of triangle
= ½[ X1(Y2-Y3) + X2(Y3-Y1) + X3(Y1-Y2) ]
(X1, Y1) = (9,-10). (X2, Y2) = (7,-3) (X3,Y3) = 0,K
DISTANCE FORMULA = √(X2-X1)²+(Y2-Y1)²
AB² = (7-9)²+(-3+10)² = 4+49 =53
BC² = (0-7)²+(K+3)² = 49 + K²+9-6K = K²-6K+58
AC² = (0-9)²+(K+10)² = 81+K²+100+20K = K²+20K+181
AB²+BC²=AC² (PYTHAGORAS THEOREM)
53 + K²-6K+58 = K²+20K+181
26K = 181-111
26k = 70
k= 70/26
k= 35/13
putting value of k as 35/13 =y3
area of triangle =
½[ 9(-3-35/13) + 7(35/13+10) + 0(-10+3) ]
½ [ 9.-74/13 + 7.165/13 +0]
½[ 666/13 + 1155/13]
½ [1821/13]
= 1821/26 = 70.03846153846
I hope this is the answer but I am not sure
but if the answer is correct pls. mark me as brianliest
