Let A B C D be a trapezium whose vertices lie on the parabola y^2=4 x . Let the sides A D and B C of the trapezium be parallel to y -axis. If the diagonal AC is of length 25 4 and it passes through the point (1,0) , then the area of A B C D is
Options
- A75 4
- B25 2
- C125 8
- D75 8
Correct answer
A. 75 4
Step-by-step solution
aligned & A ( at ₁^2, 2 at ) & C ( a t ₁^2 ,- 2 a t ₁ ) & Length AC = a ( t ₁+ 1 t ₁ )^2= 25 4 , t ₁+ 1 t ₁ = 5 2 & t ₁=2 or 1 2 , ~A ( 1 2 , 1 ), D ( 1 4 ,-1 ), B (4,4), C (4,-4) aligned So, area of trapezium = 1 2 (8+2) (4- 1 4 )= 75 4
