Optima Learn · Accepted Answer

Use the determinant formula for the area of a triangle with vertices x_1,y_1 , x_2,y_2 , x_3,y_3 2 left x_1 y_2-y_3 x_2 y_3-y_1 x_3 y_1-y_2 right . Here, A a,b-2c , B a,b 4c , C -2a,3c . So 2 left a big b 4c -3c big a big 3c- b-2c big -2a big b-2c - b 4c big right . Simplify inside b 4c -3c b c, qua
