Triangle Area Calculation Using Coordinates

In triangle XYZ, the coordinates of vertices are given as follows:

X(1, 2), Y(5, 6), and Z(3, 8). Determine the area of triangle XYZ.

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

Area = 1/2 * | x₁(y₂ - y₃) + x₂(y₃ - y₁) + x₃(y₁ - y₂) |

where (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂), and (x₃, y₃) are the vertices of the triangle.
