If a pair of perpendicular lines through the origin together with the straight line 2 x+3 y=6 form an isosceles triangle, then the area of that triangle (in sq units) is
Options
- A6 13
- B6 13
- C36 13
- D27 13
Correct answer
C. 36 13
Step-by-step solution
Since, A O B is a right angled triangle, so A= B= 4 aligned So, & A B=2 A P=2 O P Now, & O P= |6| 4+9 = 6 13 aligned So, Area of A O B= 1 2 A B O P=O P^2= 36 13
