The plane x 2 + y 3 + z 4 =1 cuts the X -axis at A, Y-axis at C, then the area of ABC =
Options
- A71 sq. units
- B29 sq. units
- C41 sq. units
- D61 sq. units
Correct answer
D. 61 sq. units
Step-by-step solution
The vertices of triangle ABC are aligned & A =(2,0,0) ; B =(0,3,0) ; C =(0,0,4) & AB =-2 i +3 j and AC =-2 i +4 k & AB AC = | array ccc i & j & k -2 & 3 & 0 -2 & 0 & 4 array |= i (12)- j (-8)+ k (6)=12 i +8 j +6 k & A ( ABC )= 1 2 | AB AC | & = 1 2 ( 144+64+36 ) & = 61 sq. units & aligned
