Example 10:






































        Here is a triangle on a grid, what is its area, the length
        of its sides and the internal angles?


        The coordinates of the apexes are,


                          A (-4, 5),  B (5, -4),  C (8, 6)

        The area of the triangle can be determined by using a

        determinant,
