Question

Find the area of a triangle in square units formed by the lines x=8,y=4,x=y...................

Answer 1

Given: Equation of line: x=8,y=4,x=y

To find: Area of triangle formed by these lines?

Solution:

• Now, we have given the line x = 8, which is parallel to y axis on distance 8 units from y axis.

• We have the line y = 4, which is parallel to x axis on distance 4 units from x axis.

• And the third line is x = y.

• So when these lines meets, they intersect at the following points (4,4) , (8,4) and (8,8).

• From this we can conclude that the triangle is right angled.

• So the area of triangle is 1/2 x base(x-axis) x height(y-axis)

            1/2 x (8-4) x (8-4)

            1/2 x 4 x 4

            8 sq. units

Answer:

      So the area of the triangle formed by lines x=8,y=4,x=y is 8 sq. units.
