From the point , tangents and are drawn to circle .
If is the centre of the circle, then the area of equilateral is
sq units
Explanation for the correct option:
Step 1. Find the area of :
Given: the equation of the circle is
So, radius of the circle
Given the coordinates of external point
and the coordinates of the center C
Step 2. Find the value of :
[Distance formula ]
[Tangents from an external point to the circle are equal]
[using Pythagoras theorem]
Step 3. Area of or
sq. units
Area of Area of or
sq. units.
Hence, Option ‘D' is Correct.
