Using integration find the area of region bounded by the triangle whose vertices are (– 1, 0), (1, 3) and (3, 2).
BL and CM are drawn perpendicular to x – axis.
We can see that from the figure that,
Area(ΔACB) = Area(ALBA) + Area(BLMCA) - Area(AMCA) …(1)
Now, equation of line segment AB is
Thus, Area(ALBA) =
Now, equation of line segment BC is
Thus, Area (BLMCB) =
Now, equation of line segment AC is
Thus, Area (AMCA) =
Now putting all these values in equation (1), we get,
Area(ΔABC) = (3 + 5 – 4) = 4 units.
Using integration find the area of the triangular region whose sides have the equations y = 2x + 1, y = 3x + 1 and x = 4.
