Find point of intersection by solving both equations together.

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

x = - x + 8 = > 2x = 8 => (x=4) y = x = 4 Point of intersection (4,4)

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

Now you could find the area using definite integration or just triangle area from the drawn shape.

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

Triangle method: Area = 0.5 * base * height height = 4 , base = 8 Area = 0.5 * 8 * 4 = 16 unit^2

Ok I kinda get what you did I'm just not exactly sure how you found the point of intersection

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

The area using integration: integrate y=x from 0 to 4 |dw:1460056854697:dw| Integrate y= -x + 8 from 4 to 8 |dw:1460056906489:dw| Total area = the sum = 8 + 8 = 16 unit^2
