Question

area of the triangle formed by the line x/a+y/b=1 with the cordinate axes is

a) ab b) 1/4ab

c) 2ab d) 1/8ab

e)1/2ab ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

area of triangle formed with coordonate axis is

|ab|/2

the area is ab/2 square units

Answer 2

Answer:

The line x/a + y/b = 1,

intercepts x and y axes at a and b

(0,0) ; (a, 0) ; (0,b) are the three vertices of triangle

therefore,

area of triangle = ½ab
