A triangle has vertices A(0,0), B(t,0), and C(0,t). Express the area of the triangle as a function of t. What is the area when t=4?
A triangle has vertices A(0,0), B(t,0), and C(0,t). Express the area of the triangle as a function of t. What is the area when t=4?
First, express area as a function of t. Suppose there is a triangle whose vertices are A (0,0), B (t,0) and C (0, t). Here, we can use the determinant formula for the area of a triangle.
Let us substitute the coordinates in the above equation:
Now, let us calculate area when t = 4 and substitute t

Now |A| = α2–β2 = 24
α2 = 16 + β2
α2– β2 = 16
(α–β) (α+β) = 16
->α + β = 8 and
α – β = 2
->α = 5 and β = 3
