先求 A 和 B 的坐标。A 在 y 轴上,所以 x=0;B 的 x 坐标是 10。再用两点距离公式。

For A, set x=0:
5y=y=2(0)+102.
So
A=(0,2).
For B, set x=10:
5y=5y=y=2(10)+10306.
So
B=(10,6).
Therefore
AB====(10−0)2+(6−2)2100+16116229.

先把 l1 写成 y=52x+2,所以斜率是 52。垂线斜率是 −25。再用点 B(10,6) 写直线方程。

From
5y=2x+10,
we get
y=52x+2.
So the gradient of l1 is 52, and the gradient of l2 is
−25.
Using B(10,6),
y−6=−25(x−10).
Multiply by 2:
2y−12=5x+2y−62=−5x+500.
Therefore
5x+2y−62=0.

思路

矩形面积是 AB×BC。已经有 AB=229,再由 l2 的 x 截距求 C,然后用距离公式求 BC。
答题过程

At C, y=0 on l2:
5x+2(0)−62=x=0562.
So
C=(562,0).
Now
BC=====(562−10)2+(0−6)2(512)2+3625144+259002510445629.
Hence the area is
AB⋅BC====229⋅5629512⋅29534869.6.
