  1. A \((6 \pi-3)\) sq units
  2. B \((3 \pi+6)\) sq units
  3. C \((6 \pi+3)\) sq units
  4. D \((3 \pi-6)\) sq units
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((3 \pi-6)\) sq units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Equation of ellipse: \(\frac{x^2}{4^2}+\frac{y^2}{3^2}=1\). Line \(3x+4y=12\) intersects the ellipse at \((4,0)\) and \((0,3)\). Area of ellipse in the first quadrant = \(\frac{1}{4} \pi a b = \frac{1}{4} \pi (4)(3) = 3\pi\). Area of triangle formed by the line and coordinate…
