Using determinants, find the area of triangle whose vertices are (2, -7), (1, 3), (10, 8). Solution: (x 1 , y 1 ) = (2, -7) (x 2 , y 2 ) = (1, 3) (x 3 , y 3 ) = (10, 8) Area of the triangle = -47.5 Since area has to be a positive quantity, it is given by 47.5 sq.units..

The number of permutations of n different things taken r at a time is the same as the number of ways of filling n letters and r blank spaces, supposed to be arranged in a straight line as shown above. Each blank is accommodating only one letter. We may fill the first blank with any one of the n ..
