Problem 21
What is the area of the triangle formed by the lines 
, 
, and 
?
Solution 1
You need to first find the coordinates where the graphs intersect. , and 
intersect at 
. , and intersect at 
. and intersect at 
. Using the Shoelace Theorem you get ![\[\left(\frac{(20-4)-(-20+4)}{2}\right)\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/1/9/81958394559aa60a28897e9a3df25fce2ce74b15.png)
