For this problem, we want to find the area of the right isosceles triangle formed by the x -axis, y -axis, and the line passing through ab.
00:10
Now, below is the illustration of the given problem.
00:15
Now, let's say that this distance here is x.
00:20
So since we have an isosceles triangle, then the length of this base will be equal to the length of this height.
00:29
So this one is also x.
00:34
And if this is x, then the points here are for the first one, that'll be 0x.
00:44
And this one here will be x0.
00:48
Now we note that the area of a triangle is equal to one half times the base times the height...
