The area of the triangle formed by the lines joining the vertex of the parabola ( x²=12 y ) to the ends of Latus rectum is
Options
- A( 18 sq ). units
- B( 19 sq ). units
- C( 20 sq . ) units
- D( 17 sq . ) units
Correct answer
A. ( 18 sq ). units
Step-by-step solution
Given that, ²=12 y (1) General equation of parabola is ²=4 a y So, 4 a=12 a=3 So, area of triangle is 1 2 base height 1 4 (4|a|)(|a|)= 1 2 (12)(3)=6 3=18 sq. units
