Brilliant thanks BrentGMATPrepNow.
So horizontal base is x coordinate here and height is y coordinate or can do by counting the columns on x,y axis which matched up?
However for the bottom right triangle's horizontal base, looking at diagram on x axis of point P, should it be length 3 here?

Which of the three triangles are you referring to?

My bad Brent BrentGMATPrepNow. For top triangle x,y coordiant is (7,4) (so base is 7 and height is 4), left triangle x,y coordiant (4,1) and right triangle x,y coordiant (3,4). Is my understanding correct? Thanks Brent
