\n" ); document.write( "The three boundary lines are the y-axis, y = (-2/7)x+7, and y = (7/2)x.

\n" ); document.write( "The area of a triangle is one-half base times height.

\n" ); document.write( "Use the side of the triangle on the y-axis (length 7) as the base; then the height is the x value where the other two boundary lines intersect. So

\n" ); document.write( "(1) solve \"%287%2F2%29x+=+%28-2%2F7%29x%2B7\" for x
\n" ); document.write( "(2) the area of the triangle is (1/2) times (7) times the value of x from step (1)

\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------
