The welfare loss due to monopoly pricing and output practices is the area of the triangle ADB. This is because the monopoly price (P_M) is higher than the competitive price (P_C), and the monopoly output (Q_M) is lower than the competitive output (Q_C). The area of the triangle ADB represents the difference between the consumer surplus and producer surplus under monopoly and competition.
