Question

Area of triangle formed by the point A(a,0),B(0,0) and C(0,b)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

that is right angle triangle

then area= 1/2ab

Answer 2

The area of the triangle is $\frac{1}{2}ab$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are A(a,0),B(0,0) and C(0,b).

At x - axis the y-coordinate is zero

At y - axis the x- coordinate is zero

Thus, A must be at the x axis 'a' distance from origin and C is at y- axis and 'b' distance from origin.

The figure of the triangle is shown in the attached figure.

The height of the triangle is b.

And the base of the triangle is a.

The area of the triangle is given by the formula

$Area=\frac{1}{2}\times height\times base\\\\Area=\frac{1}{2}ab$
