Answer:

Area of the Shaded Region = 6

Explanation:

Line 1 is passing through the points (0,0) and (5,5), now we know any line passing through the origin (0,0) will have the equation y = x---------(1)

Line 2 lies on the coordinates (0,3) and (6,0) hence in order to find the equation of line 2 we will use the following formula:

(y- y1) = m (x - x1) (here m is the gradient of the line)

m = 0-3/6-0

m = -3/6

m = -1/2

(y - 3) = (-1/2)(x - 0)

y - 3 -1/2 x

y = -1/2x -3-----------(2)

now substituting equation (1) in equation (2) we get

y = -1/2y -3

3/2 y = 3

y = 2; x = 2

Hence the intersecting point of the above line is (2,2)

Area of the shaded region = 1/2 * base * height

= 6
