The area of a triangle whose vertices are (-3,0), (3, 0) and (0, k) is 6. Then the value (or the values) of k will be:

  1. A 2, -2
  2. B 2
  3. C -2
  4. D 1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2, -2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Base \( = |3 - (-3)| = 6 \) Height \( = |k| \) \( \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \) \( 6 = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times |k| \) \( 6 = 3|k| \) \( |k| = 2 \) \( k = \pm 2 \)
