If O is the origin and P, Q are points on the line 3 x+4 y+15=0 such that OP = OQ =9 , then the area of OPQ is
Options
- A6 2
- B9 2
- C12 2
- D18 2
Correct answer
D. 18 2
Step-by-step solution
Let M be the foot of perpendicular drawn from O(0,0) on line 3 x+4 y+15=0 Hence O M= | 3 0+4 0+15 3^2+4^2 |=3 Now since O M Q , M Q= 81-9 =6 2 Area of O P Q=2[ Area of O M Q] aligned & =2 [ 1 2 (O M)(M Q) ] & =3 6 2 =18 2 aligned
