Then which of the following is NOT trueThe equations of the sides AB, BC and CA of a triangle ABC are 2x + y = 0, x + py = 39 and x - y = 3 respectively and

Options

  1. A(AC)2=9p{\left(AC\right)}^{2} = 9p
  2. B(AC)2+p2=136{\left(AC\right)}^{2} + {p}^{2} = 136
  3. C32 <area(∆ABC)<36area \left(∆ ABC\right) < 36
  4. D34 <area(∆ABC)<38area \left(∆ ABC\right) < 38

Correct answer

D. 34 <area(∆ABC)<38area \left(∆ ABC\right) < 38

Step-by-step solution

The equations of the sides AB, BC and CA of a triangle ABC are 2x + y = 0, x + py = 39 and x - y = 3 respectively andIntersection of 2x+y=0 and x−y=32x + y = 0 \text{ and } x - y = 3 is A(1,−2)A\left(1, - 2\right)

Perpendicular bisector of ABAB is y−3=12(x−2)⇒x−2y+4=0y - 3 = \dfrac{1}{2}\left(x - 2\right) ⇒ x - 2y + 4 = 0

Take image of AA along the perpendicular bisector of ABAB, we get

x−11=y+2−2=−2(9)5=−185\dfrac{x - 1}{1} = \dfrac{y + 2}{- 2} = \dfrac{- 2\left(9\right)}{5} = - \dfrac{18}{5}

i.e. x=−135,y=265x = - \dfrac{13}{5}, y = \dfrac{26}{5}

B(−135,265)B\left(- \dfrac{13}{5}, \dfrac{26}{5}\right)

This point lies on the line x+py=39x + py = 39

i.e. −135+p(265)=39⇒−1+2p=15- \dfrac{13}{5} + p\left(\dfrac{26}{5}\right) = 39 ⇒ - 1 + 2p = 15

⇒p=8⇒ p = 8

Solving x+8y=39x + 8y = 39 and x−y=3x - y = 3, we get C(7,4)C\left(7, 4\right)

Now (AC)2=(1−7)2+(−2−4)2=72=9p{\left(AC\right)}^{2} = {\left(1 - 7\right)}^{2} + {\left(- 2 - 4\right)}^{2} = 72 = 9p

and AC2+p2=72+64=136A{C}^{2} + {p}^{2} = 72 + 64 = 136

Also \delta ABC = \dfrac{1}{2}\left|\begin{cases}1 & - 2 & 1 \\ 7 & 4 & 1 \\ \dfrac{- 13}{5} & \dfrac{26}{5} & 1\end{cases}\right|

=12[18+18×135]= \dfrac{1}{2}\left[18 + 18 \times \dfrac{13}{5}\right]

=9[185]=1625=32.4∉(34,38)= 9\left[\dfrac{18}{5}\right] = \dfrac{162}{5} = 32 . 4 \notin \left(34, 38\right)
