Problem
The coordinates of are , , and , with . The area of is 12. What is the value of ?
Solution 1
The triangle has base which means its height satisfies This means that so the answer is
Solution 2
By the Shoelace Theorem, has area . From the problem, this is equal to . We now solve for y.
OR
OR
OR
However, since, as stated in the problem, , our only valid solution is .
~ cxsmi
Solution 3
As in the figure, the triangle is determined by the vectors and . Recall that the absolute value of the determinant of these vectors is the area of the parallelogram determined by those vectors; the triangle has half the area of that parallelogram. Then we must have that . Expanding the determinants, we find that or . Solving each equation individually, we find that or . However, the problem states that , so the only valid solution is .
