Calculate the area and centroid of a triangle
with vertices at (1,2), (3,4), and (5,6)
Calculate the Area:
Area =
|x1(y2 - y3) + x2(y3 - y1) + x3(y1 - y2)|
2
Area =
|1(4 - 6) + 3(6 - 2) + 5(2 - 4)|
2
Area =
|1(-2) + 3(4) + 5(-2)|
2
Area =
|-2 + 12 + -10|
2
Area =
|0|
2
Area = 0
Centroid Formula:
x1 + x2 + x3
