First I will find D coordinates D(x,y) .
the slope of OD: $\displaystyle S_{OD} = \frac{y}{x} $
Note that $\displaystyle y = \frac{-3x}{4} + 2 $ since D on the line
$\displaystyle AD \perp OD $ so we get $S_{AD} . S_{OD} = -1 $
$\displaystyle S_{AD} = \frac{-3}{4} $
$\displaystyle S_{OD} = \frac{4}{3} = \frac{-3x + 8}{4x} \Rightarrow 16x = -9x + 24 \Rightarrow x = \frac{24}{25} $
$D\left(\frac{24}{25} , \frac{32}{25} \right) $
$\displaystyle \bar{OD} = \sqrt{\left( \frac{24}{25}\right)^2 + \left( \frac{32}{25}\right)^2} = \frac{8}{5} $
The upper circle has radius 1 since the line AB cut the y-axis at (0,2), I think the lower circle has also radius 1, if so then N(1,1)
to find G coordinates, G on the line ON : y=x so $\displaystyle G\left(\frac{8}{7}, \frac{8}{7} \right) $
$\displaystyle\bar{DG} = \sqrt{ \left(\frac{24}{25} - \frac{8}{7}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{32}{25} - \frac{8}{7}\right)^2 }= 8 \sqrt{\left(\frac{3}{25} - \frac{1}{7}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{4}{25} - \frac{1}{7} \right)^2 } $
The area of the triangle = 1/2 OD (DG)

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
