Find the area of the region bounded by the y-axis, the line y=6, and the line y = 1/2x.
+129852 This area will form a right riangle
We can find one leg as follows
6 = (1/2)x multiply both sides by 2
12 = x
The other leg = 6
And the area of a right triangle = product of the legs / 2 =
[ 12 * 6 ] / 2 =
72 / 2 =
36 units^2
