If the coordinates of two points A and B are( 3, 4) and (5, - 2) respectively. Find the coordinates of any point P, if PA= PB and area of triangle ∆PAB = 10 ?
Answers
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,
{(3-x)^{2}+(4-y)^{2}}={(5-x)^{2}+(-2-y)^{2}}
9+x^{2}-6x+16+y^{2}-8y=25+x^{2}-10x+4+y^{2}+4y
-6x-8y=-10x+4+4y
4x-12y=4
x-3y=1 (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 =
-6+2y-20+6x=20
46=2y+6x
3x+y=23 (Equation 2)
Now, solving equations 1 and 2.
Since x-3y=1
therefore, x = 3y+1
Equation 2 implies,
3(3y+1)+y=23
9y+3+y=23
10y=20
y= 2 ✔
x=3y+1
x=(3 \times 2)+1
x= 7 ✔
Therefore, the coordinates are (7,2).
