Brightside,

Sub XY = sqrt20

YZ = 5/4

ZX = (sqrt185)/4

Into Cos z = (5/4)^2 + (sqrt(185)/4)^2 - (sqrt20)^2 all over 2 x 5/4 x sqrt(185)/4

z = 143.9726266

Area = 1/2 x 5/4 x sqrt(185)/4 x sin (143.9726266)

i did D XY = sqroot 89/16

No, XY is sqrt20. You were right first time, I strongly advise you to plot these points first.

XY = points (3,2) and (-1,0)

XY = sqrt[(0-2)^2 + (-1-3)^2]

XY = sqrt 20

________________________________


YZ = points (-1,0) and (1/4,0)

You don't even need distance formula for this, distance from eye is 5/4 (Plot and see)

________________________________

ZX = points (1/4,0) and (3, 2)

ZX = sqrt (2-0)^2 + (3-1/4)^2

ZX = (sqrt(185))/4

ahh yes finally got it 1 1/4. it's funny how if you use degrees, minutes and seconds in the last part, u get an ans slightly off. You have to use the decimal to get the right answer. thanx spiral

Glad to help, funny how one silly mistake will waste 1 page of a thread. :)
