These digits represent the three co-ordinates on the Cartesian plane \( (0,0),(0,3) \) and \( (4,0) \).
If lines are drawn to connect each of the points, you form a triangle. Your task is to calculate the area of this triangle (given its co-ordinates). Clearly the above triangle has an area of 6 units squared.
Example 2:
Suppose you have a string of 6 integers such as: 556739
These digits represent three co-ordinates on the Cartesian plane \( (5,5), (6,7), (3,9) \).
If lines are drawn to connect each of these points, you form a triangle. After doing the calculations, the area of the above triangle has an area of 4 units squared.
You are provided with a text file containing the co-ordinates for each triangle.
Find the triangle with the largest area. Report the value for the area to one decimal place
