y = x/2
line through origin with slope 1/2
---
y = x
line through origin with slope 1
---
y = 2
horizontal line a y = 2
---
the 3 lines form an obtuse triangle with base parallel to the line y = 2
---
triangle dimensions:
h = 2
b = (y = x/2 at y = 2) - (y = x at y = 2)
b = (2 = x/2) - (2 = x)
b = (x = 4) - (x = 2)
b = (4) - (2)
b = 2

a = (1/2)bh
a = (1/2)2*2
---
