Finding the triangle's vertices from the three given lines and integrating the vertical strip between the lines gives an area of 25 sq. units.

The three sides are y=x+1y=x+1, y=3x+1y=3x+1, x=5x=5.

Find vertices:

y=x+1y=x+1 and y=3x+1y=3x+1 meet where x+1=3x+1  ⟹  x=0,y=1x+1=3x+1\implies x=0,y=1: point (0,1)(0,1).

y=x+1y=x+1 and x=5x=5: point (5,6)(5,6).

y=3x+1y=3x+1 and x=5x=5: point (5,16)(5,16).

So the triangle has vertices (0,1),(5,6),(5,16)(0,1), (5,6), (5,16), with y=3x+1y=3x+1 lying above y=x+1y=x+1 for x∈[0,5]x\in[0,5].
