A triangle has vertices at points A(2, 3), B(8, 3), and C(5, 7). Determine the area of triangle ABC.
Use the formula for the area of a triangle given by vertices at coordinates (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3):
The area A is given by:
$$ A = rac{1}{2} imes |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| $$
