Let R be the point 3 , 7 and let P and Q be two points on the line x + y = 5 such that P Q R is an equilateral triangle. Then the area of ∆ P Q R is

Options

  1. A25 4 3
  2. B25 3 2
  3. C25 3
  4. D25 2 3

Correct answer

D. 25 2 3

Step-by-step solution

Given P Q R is an equilateral triangle. Let the side of the triangle be a Perpendicular distance from R 3 , 7 to the line x + y = 5 is 3 + 7 - 5 1 + 1 = 5 2 So sin 60 ° = 5 2 a a = 5 2 3 Area of ∆ P Q R = 3 4 a 2 = 25 2 3
