Solution
- 1 Step 1: The region is a triangle with vertices at , , and .
- 2 Step 2: The boundary consists of three line segments: the -axis from to , the -axis from to , and the line from to .
- 3 Step 3: Lengths: -segment , -segment , hypotenuse . Perimeter units.
Answer
Triangular boundary with vertices , , ; perimeter units.
Inequalities define regions, and the boundary is formed by the edges where the inequalities become equalities. The boundary of this triangular region consists of the three line segments on which , , or .
