Question

Two tangents are drawn on the circle x2+y26x2y15=0 at point B(3,6) and D(0,3) which meets at point C. If A be the center of circle, then area of quadrilateral ABCD is

Solution

Equation of the tangent to the circle
x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0 at (x1,y1)

xx1+yy1+g(x+x1)+f(y+y1)+c=0
Equation of BC at B(3,6)
y=6
Equation of CD at D(0,3)
3x+4y+12=0
So, the intersection point of BC and CD is,
C=(12,6)
BC=15 and AB=5
Area of quadrilateral ABCD =12×15×5×2=75
