Let $C$ be a set in two dimensions and let $Q(C)$ be the area of $C$ if $C$ has a finite area; otherwise let $Q(C)$ be undefined.



So if we have this set, the book says,



$$C = (x,y): 0 leq x, 0 leq y, x+yleq1$$



$Q(C) = frac12$



I'm struggling to have the ideas or concepts in my head to easily establish or see that the area is 1/2.
Can anybody help?

    You are essentially asked to determine the area of a triangle that is defined by 3 inequalities in 2D euclidean space. Draw the triangle, calculate its area and you are done

  • Oh yeah, sorry, I see where I went wrong. Yes I did draw a diagram, but I forgot one thing, that x and y are constrained to the 1st quadrant. Thanks.

You are essentially asked to determine the area of a triangle that is defined by 3 linear inequalities in a 2D euclidean space. Draw 3 lines, color the half-spaces corresponding to the inequalities, the intersection of all 3 will be a triangle. Calculate its area and you are done
