Question

Find the area of the triangle enclosed by these lines with the following vertices. y = x, x = 0, y = 5 (0,0), (0,5), (5,5)

Answer 1

The are of the triangle will be 12.5 units.

On marking the given vertices (0,0), (0,5), (5,5) of the triangle we get, the base of the triangle = 5 units and height of the triangle = 5 units.

Now, we know area of triangle =
`(Base * Height)/(2) \\ \\ = (5 *5)/(2) \\ \\ = (25)/(2) \\ \\ = 12.5 units.`
