Find the values of k so that the area of the triangle with vertices (1, -1), (-4, 2k) and (-k, -5) is 24 sq. units.
उत्तर
Take (x1,y1)=(1,-1),(4,-2k)and (-k,-5)
It is given that the area of the triangle is 24 sq.unit Area of the triangle having vertices (x1,y1),(x2,y2) and (x3,y3) is given by
`=1/2[x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2)]`
`24=1/2[1(2k-(-5)+(-4)((-5)-(-1))+(-k)((-1)-2k)]`
`48=[(2k+5)+16+(k+2k^2)]`
`2k^2+3k-27=0`
`(2k+9)(k-3)=0`
`k=-9/2 or k=3`
The values of k are -9/2 and 3.
