area of triangle formed by the lines y=ax, x+y=a and the y axis is equal to

OpenStudy (jh3power):

first find the dots where the lines meet. so that would be.. x+y=a is equal to y=-x+a,so -x+a=ax (a+1)x=a x=a/a+1 y=ax simply pass (0.0), and x+y=a pass a, so S= a*a/a+1*1/2

hope it helped :)

y=ax, --------(1 x+y=a---------(2 from (1 and (2 we have x+ax=a x(1+a) = a \[x = \frac{a}{1+a}\] therefore y= ax i.e. \[y=a \times \frac{a}{1+a}\] \[\rightarrow y= \frac{a^2}{1+a}\] let x = base and y = height of the riangle. \[Area -of -\triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height\] \[\rightarrow Area -of -\triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{a}{1+a} \times \frac{a^2}{1+a}\] \[\Huge \rightarrow Area -of -\triangle = \frac{a^3}{2(1+a)^2} \] is the required answer of the area of the triangle. @HARSH123
