Answer

$\int~B\cdot ds = 4.5\times 10^{-6}~T\cdot m$

Work Step by Step

We can calculate the area of the triangle enclosed by the three line segments: $A = \frac{1}{2}(4d)(3d)$ $A = 6d^2$ $A = (6)(0.20~m)^2$ $A = 0.24~m^2$ We can find the enclosed current: $i_{enc} = (0.24~m^2)(15~A/m^2) = 3.6~A$ We can find $\int~B\cdot ds$: $\int~B\cdot ds = \mu_0~i_{enc}$ $\int~B\cdot ds = (4\pi\times 10^{-7}~H/m)(3.6~A)$ $\int~B\cdot ds = 4.5\times 10^{-6}~T\cdot m$
