Problem

Three corners of a triangular park are at P(6, 2), Q(2, 7) and R(−1, 4). (i) Calculate the area of the park. (ii) State whether the order P, Q, R names the vertices in clockwise or counter-clockwise orientation. (iii) Write the same three vertices in an order that gives the same numerical area with a positive sign, and verify your result.
