Answer:

The area of the triangle is 7.5 sq units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the vertices of triangle ABC is,

A = (2, 1)

B = (-1, 4)

C = (2, 6)

D = (2, 4)

So,

AC=\sqrt{(2-2)^2+(6-1)^2}=\sqrt{0^2+5^2}=\sqrt{5^2}=5

BD=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(4-4)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+0^2}=\sqrt{9}=3

we know that,

\text{Area}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \text{Base}\times \text{Height}

=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \text{AC}\times \text{BD}

=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5\times 3

=7.5
