Let P(2,−1)P(2,-1), Q(6,3)Q(6,3) and R(−1,4)R(-1,4) be three points in the plane. a. (i) Calculate the value of S=2AS=2A, where AA is the (signed) area of △PQR\triangle PQR. b. (ii) State whether the vertices P,Q,RP,Q,R are ordered clockwise or anticlockwise. c. (iii) Hence find the magnitude of the area of △PQR\triangle PQR.
