If the area of the triangle with vertices A(x, 4), B(-2, 4) and C(2,-6) is 35 sq units, then the values of 2 are:

  1. A 5,-9
  2. B 5,9
  3. C \(-5,9\)
  4. D 5,7
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 5,-9

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( 35 = \frac{1}{2} |x(4 - (-6)) + (-2)(-6 - 4) + 2(4 - 4)| \) \( 35 = \frac{1}{2} |x(10) - 2(-10) + 0| \) \( 70 = |10x + 20| \) \( 10x + 20 = 70 \Rightarrow 10x = 50 \Rightarrow x = 5 \) \( 10x + 20 = -70 \Rightarrow 10x = -90 \Rightarrow x = -9 \) Values of x: \( 5, -9 \)
