<p>The area bounded by the relation abs(x) + abs(y) = 2 is:
8
1
2
4
There is no finite area</p>
<p>So, can anyone explain how the answer is found? 8 is the answer.</p>
<p>Create a square with the four corners at (0,2), (2,0), (0,-2), (-2,0) and figure out the area of the square.</p>
<p>One way would be to multiply the two diagonals, divide by 2 and you get the area. Another way is to just count the boxes on the graph paper.</p>
<p>Yes, but how would you find the four corners in the first place?</p>
<p>nvm, i was being stupid.</p>
