area of triangle PAB is 4.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A and b are two points (3,4) , (5,-2) and PA=PB and area of triangle PAB= 10 square units.
To find: The coordinates of P
Solution: Let the coordinate P be (x,y)
Since it is given that PA = PB
So, firstly we will calculate the distance PA.
PA = (x,y) (3,4)
Distance PA =
PB=(x,y) (5,-2)
Distance PB =
So,
Squaring both the sides in the above equation,
(Equation 1)
Now,it is given that Area of triangle PAB = 10
Area of triangle of (3,4) (5,-2) and (x,y)
Area of triangle is given by the formula=
Area of triangle PAB =
(Equation 2)
Now, solving equations 1 and 2.
Since
therefore, x = 3y+1
Equation 2 implies,
Therefore, the coordinates are (7,2).
