Solution
The given triangle ΔOAB is a right angled triangle, right angled at O. the co-ordinates of the vertices are O (0, 0) A (6, 0) and B (0, 4).
So,
Altitude is 6 units and base is 4 units.
Therefore,
ar ( ΔOAB ) = `1/2` (Base )( Altitude )
`= 1/2 `( 4 ) ( 6 ) sq . units
= 12 sq . units

(Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.
All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines.
There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3).
- how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
