<reasoning>

Identify the coordinates of the vertices

Using the Triangle Area in Coordinate Plane knowledge point
\[
A = (1, 1), \quad B = (4, 0), \quad C = (3, 5)
\]

Calculate the area using bounding box subtraction

Using the Composite Area knowledge point
\[

$$\begin{aligned} &\text{Bounding Box: } [1, 4] \times [0, 5]\\ &\text{Width } = 3, \quad \text{Height } = 5\\ &\text{Box Area } = 3 \times 5 = 15\\ &\text{Left Triangle Area } = \frac{1}{2} \times (3 - 1) \times (5 - 1) = 4\\ &\text{Right Triangle Area } = \frac{1}{2} \times (4 - 3) \times (5 - 0) = 2.5\\ &\text{Bottom Triangle Area } = \frac{1}{2} \times (4 - 1) \times (1 - 0) = 1.5\\ &\text{Triangle Area } = 15 - (4 + 2.5 + 1.5) = 7 \end{aligned}$$
