Question:

With linear demand and supply curves, it is possible to solve for the consumer surplus using the formula for the area of a triangle (area= ½

height × base). Suppose the demand curve is P D = 100 – 0.5Q and the supply price is horizontal at $40 (P S = $40). Note that the consumer surplus looks like a triangle. What is the total consumer surplus for this good?
