Finding the Area of Triangle ABC

A triangle has vertices at the points A(2, 3), B(5, 7), and C(2, 7). What is the area of triangle ABC?

To find the area of a triangle given the coordinates of its vertices, you can use the formula:

$$ ext{Area} = rac{1}{2} imes ext{base} imes ext{height} $$

Please choose the correct area from the options below.
