C.5. (10 pts, Text p.68, Problem 2.6). Given that the area of a triangle with corners at $(x_1, y_1)$, $(x_2, y_2)$ and $(x_3, y_3)$ can be written in the form
$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \text{det} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & x_1 & y_1 \\ 1 & x_2 & y_2 \\ 1 & x_3 & y_3 \end{bmatrix}$
determine the area of the triangle with corners at (1, 1), (4, 2), and (2, 4).
