Here O is the point 
. The line 
meets the y -axis at B and so B is the point (0,4). The equation of any line perpendicular to the line 
and passes through (5, 5) is 
......(i)
The line (i) meets the x- axis at C and so co-ordinates of C are 
Similarly the coordinates of E are (3, 2) by solving the line AB and (i). Thus O (0, 0), 
, 
and B (0, 4). Now the area of figure 
area of 
+ area of 
units.
