Question

In a triangle formed by the lines xy=0 and 2x+3y=k

Open in App
Solution

Since, the triangle is formed by the lines xy=0 and x(k/2)+y(k/3)=1
and pair of straight lines xy=0 are perpendicular to each other
Therefore, origin is the orthocenter of the triangle for all values of k
Vertices of triangle are A(0,0), B(k2,0) and C(0,k3)
Therefore, centroid G=(3,2)=(k6,k9)
k=18
Since, ΔBAC is an right-angled
Therefore, circumcenter(C) is the midpoint of side BC
C=(3,2)=(k4,k6)
k=12
Area of ΔABC=192=k212
k=±48
