Solution

Dear student
We know thatThe area of the triangle, the coordinates of whose vertices are (x1,y1),(x2,y2) and (x3,y3) is12x1y2-y3+x2y3-y1+x3y1-y2Now if coordinates are 2a,b,a+b,2b+a and 2b,2a then area isλ=122a2b+a-2a+a+b2a-b+2bb-2b-a [Given]λ=122a2b-a+a+b2a-b+2b-b-aλ=124ab-2a2+2a2-ab+2ab-b2-2b2-2abλ=123ab-3b2 ...(1)Now if coordinates are a+b,a-b,3b-a,b+3a and 3a-b,3b-a then area is=12a+bb+3a-3b+a+3b-a3b-a-a+b+3a-ba-b-b-3a=12a+b-2b+4a+3b-a4b-2a+3a-b-2b-2a=12-2ab+4a2-2b2+4ab+12b2-6ab-4ab+2a2-6ab-6a2+2b2+2ab=12-12ab+12b2=12-43ab-3b2=4×123ab-3b2=4λ [from eq(1)]
