Let the points of intersections of the lines x−y+1=0,x−2y+3=0x - y + 1 = 0, x - 2y + 3 = 0 and 2x−5y+11=02x - 5y + 11 = 0 are the mid points of the sides of a triangle ABC.ABC . Then the area of the triangle ABCABC is

Correct answer

6

Step-by-step solution

If P,Q,RP, Q, R are mid-points of sides of ∆ABC∆ ABC then 4×Area(ΔPQR)=Area(∆ABC)4 \times Area ( \Delta PQR ) = Area ( ∆ ABC )

Area of \delta ABC = 4 \times \dfrac{1}{2}\left|\dfrac{{\left|\begin{cases}{a}_{1} & {b}_{1} & {c}_{1} \\ {a}_{2} & {b}_{2} & {c}_{2} \\ {a}_{3} & {b}_{3} & {c}_{3}\end{cases}\right|}^{2}}{{C}_{1}{C}_{2}{C}_{3}}\right|

Where C1,C2,C3{C}_{1}, {C}_{2}, {C}_{3} are cofactors ofc1,c2,c3{c}_{1}, {c}_{2}, {c}_{3}

\delta ABC = 4 \times \dfrac{1}{2}\left|\dfrac{{\left|\begin{cases}1 & - 1 & 1 \\ 1 & - 2 & 3 \\ 2 & - 5 & 11\end{cases}\right|}^{2}}{( - 1 ) ( 3 ) ( - 1 )}\right|

=2×9÷3= 2 \times 9 \div 3

=6= 6
