10. Let T be the triangle in the x-y plane with
vertices (0,0), (2,0) and (1,1). We are interested in the double integral

with vertices at (0,0), (1,0) and (1,1), and 
with vertices at (1,0), (2,0) and (1,1). Write 
as an iterated integral, where you integrate first over y and then
over x. Do the same for 
.

, either by doing the iterated integral you wrote down in (a) or the ones
you wrote down in (b).
