Find area of the triangle with vertices at the point given in each of the following: $(2,7),(1,1),(10,8)$

If $x, y, z$ are in arithmetic progression with common difference $d , x \neq 3 d ,$ and the
determinant of the matrix $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3 & 4 \sqrt{2} & x \\ 4 & 5 \sqrt{2} & y \\ 5 & k & z\end{array}\right]$ is zero, then the value of $k ^{2}$ is ….. .
