Find the area of triangle formed by the line `ax+by=2ab` and the co-ordinate axes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Equation of straight line is
`ax+by=2ab`
`implies (x)/(2b)+(y)/(2a)=1`
`implies` Straight line cuts the intercepts of length `2b` and `2a` on the axes

`:.` Area of `DeltaOAB=(1)/(2)xxOAxxOB`
`=(1)/(2)xx2bxx2a`
