Let R be the point (3, 7) and let P and Q be two points on the line x + y = 5 such that PQR is an equilateral triangle, Then the area of ΔPQR is
\(\frac{25}{4\sqrt3}\)
\(\frac{25\sqrt3}{2}\)
\(\frac{25}{\sqrt3}\)
\(\frac{25}{2\sqrt3}\)
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is (D) : \(\frac{25}{2\sqrt3}\)
Altitude of equilateral triangle,
\(\frac{\sqrt3l}{2}=\frac{5}{\sqrt2}\)
\(l=\frac{5\sqrt2}{\sqrt3}\)
Area of triangle
\(=\frac{\sqrt3}{4}l^2=\frac{\sqrt3}{4}.\frac{50}{3}=\frac{25}{2\sqrt3}\)
Top Questions on Coordinate Geometry
Let \( ABC \) be a triangle. Consider four points \( p_1, p_2, p_3, p_4 \) on the side \( AB \), five points \( p_5, p_6, p_7, p_8, p_9 \) on the side \( BC \), and four points \( p_{10}, p_{11}, p_{12}, p_{13} \) on the side \( AC \). None of these points is a vertex of the triangle \( ABC \). Then the total number of pentagons that can be formed by taking all the vertices from the points \( p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_{13} \) is ___________.

Concepts Used:
Coordinate Geometry
The central idea in coordinate geometry is to assign numerical coordinates to points in a plane or space, which allows us to describe their positions and relationships using algebraic equations. The most common coordinate system is the Cartesian coordinate system, named after the French mathematician and philosopher René Descartes.
