The area of the triangle bounded by the lines y=x y=-x and y=6 is 36 units.
What is area of triangle?
The formula for finding area could be represented in the form of determinants as given below.
[tex]A = \frac{1}{2} \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x1&y1&1\\x2&y2&1\\x3&y3&1\end{array}\right][/tex]
First, we need to find the coordinates of the point of intersection of these lines.
y = x
y = -x
Adding the two equations,
2y = 0
y = 0
x = 0
coordinate: (0, 0)
y = x
y = 6
Subtracting the two equations,
0 = x - 6
x = 6
coordinate: (6, 6)
y = -x
y = 6
Subtracting the two equations,
- x - 6 = 0
x = -6
coordinate: (-6, 6)
Calculating area of triangle bounded by the given line:
Area of triangle =
[tex]\frac{1}{2}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&0&1\\6&6&1\\-6&6&1\end{array}\right][/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2} (36 + 36) = \frac{72}{2} = 36[/tex]
