The given two points are (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).

The formula of the distance between the two points is given as,

distance=(x1−x2)2+(y1−y2)2

Substitute 0 for x1, 5 for x2, 0 for y1 and 0 for y2 in the above formula.

distance=(0−5)2+(0−0)2distance=5

Consider the three points are (0,0), (5,0) and (5,5).

The side of the triangle is,

a=(x1−x2)2+(y1−y2)2

Substitute 0 for x1, 5 for x2, 0 for y1 and 0 for y2 in the above formula.

a=(0−5)2+(0−0)2=5

The side of the triangle is,

b=(x2−x3)2+(y2−y3)2

Substitute 5 for x2, 5 for x3, 0 for y2 and 5 for y3 in the above formula.

b=(5−5)2+(0−5)2=5

The side of the triangle is,

c=(x3−x1)2+(y3−y1)2

Substitute 5 for x3, 0 for x1, 5 for y3 and 0 for y1 in the above formula.

c=(5−0)2+(5−0)2=52

The formula for half sum of the sides of the triangle is,

s=a+b+c2

Substitute 5 for a, 5 for b and 52 for c in the above formula.

s=5+5+522=8.5355

The formula for the area of the triangle is,

area=s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)

Substitute 5 for a, 5 for b, 52 for c and 8.5355 for s in the above formula.

area=8.5355(8.5355−5)(8.5355−5)(8.5355−52)=12.5000
