Solution


Solving the given equations The point of intersection of the three lines are A(0, 1), B(4, 13) and C(4, 9). We need to find the area of ABCArea under line AB=area OABCLArea OABCL=043x+1 dx Equation of BC is y=3x+1 and x moves from A, x=0 to B, x=4 =3x22+x04 =3422+4=24+4=28 sq. unitsArea under line BC =Area OACLArea OACL=042x+1dx Equation of BC is y=2x+1 and x moves from A, x=0 to C, x=4 =2x22+x04=16+4=20 sq. unitsArea ΔABC= Area OABCL-Area OACLArea ΔABC=28-20 =8 sq. units Area of triangle formed by the three given lines=8 sq. units
