    That makes good sense. Thanks a bunch for the help.

    Area between Triangle and Rectangle

    Yeah, didn't really have any doubts about the correctness of the answers I got, more about consolidating it into a single expression. How would one go about trying to introduce such a unit step artifice? Heavisides step function I take it? Some hints and pointers would be useful, only having to...

    Area between Triangle and Rectangle

    Yeah the tip of the triangle is at origin. The axis down the middle of the triangle is the x-axis, and then one side of the triangle running at an angle θ and one at -θ. Can see how that would be confusing. It can be considered infinite in the x direction. Yes, the rectangle is a stripe that is...

    Area between Triangle and Rectangle

    Homework Statement Consider a large triangle, the tip is located at the origo x=0, it is sloped at an angle θ and -θ relative to the x-axis, relative to the x-axis, its dimensions in x can be considered infinite. A large stripe/strip/band is placed on top of the triangle but perpendicular to...
