[asy] import graph; size(200); defaultpen(linewidth(0.8)); real xmin=0; real xmax=12; real ymin=0; real ymax=10; xlimits(xmin, xmax); ylimits(ymin, ymax); xaxis("xx",0,12,EndArrow); yaxis("yy",0,10,EndArrow); dot(Label("OO",align=SW),(0,0)); draw((0,8)--(10,0)); dot(Label("(0,8)(0,8)",align=E),(0,8)); dot(Label("(r,0)(r,0)",align=S),(10,0)); [/asy]
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
If the area of the triangle shown is 40, what is r? [asy]
import graph; size(200); defaultpen(linewidth(0.8));

real xmin=0;
real xmax=12;
real ymin=0;
real ymax=10;

xlimits(xmin, xmax);

ylimits(ymin, ymax);

xaxis("x",0,12,EndArrow);

dot(Label("(0,8)",align=E),(0,8));
