On the plane xy, there are 3 points:
O(0,0), A(2, 4), B(3, 0).

(i) When a straight line x=p bisects the area of △OAB, p=?
(ii) When a straight line y=q bisects the area of △OAB, q=?

You have the points and need to solve for distance when the lines bisect x and y so you can use the distance formula for the distance between two points since you have points. 
$$d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$$

Which points that I should use? Trying for each OA, OB, & AB?
