Question
Find values of k if area of triangle is 4 square units and vertices are (k, 0), (4, 0), (0, 2)
Solution
Area of a triangle = `1/2 abs ((x_1,y_1,1),(x_2,y_2,1),(x_3,y_3,1))`
`=> 1/2 abs ((k,0,1),(4,0,1),(0,2,1)) = pm 4`
`=> abs ((k,0,1),(4,0,1),(0,2,1)) = pm 8`
`=> (-2) abs ((k, 1),(4,1)) = pm 8 ` ...[On expanding with respect toC2]
`=> k - 4`
= `pm 4`
`=> "k" = 0, 8`
