Question
A triangular shaped glass with vertices at A(– 5, – 4), B(1, 6) and C(7, – 4) has to be painted. If one bucket of paint covers 6 square feet, how many buckets of paint will be required to paint the whole glass, if only one coat of paint is applied

Solution
Given the vertices of the triangular glass is A (– 5, – 4), B (1, 6), and C (7, – 4)
Area of triangle ACB = `1/2[(x_1y_2 + x_2y_3 + x_3y_1) - (x_2y_1 + x_3y_2 + x_1y_3)]`
= `1/2[(20 + 42 - 4) - (-28 - 4 - 30)]`
= `1/2[58 - (- 62)]`
= `1/2 [58 + 62]`
= `1/2 xx 120`
= 60 sq. feet
Number of cans to paint 6 square feet = 1
∴ Number of cans = `60/6` = 10
⇒ Number of cans = 10
