JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 9. straight line

Let \(B\) and \(C\) be the two points on the line \(y+x=0\) such that \(B\) and \(C\) are symmetric with respect to the origin. Suppose \(A\) is a point on \(y -2 x =2\) such that \(\triangle ABC\) is an equilateral triangle. Then, the area of the \(\triangle ABC\) is

  1. A \(3 \sqrt{3}\)
  2. B \(2 \sqrt{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At A \(x=y\) \(Y-2 x=2\) \((-2,-2)\) Height from line \(x + y =0\) \(h=\frac{4}{\sqrt{2}}\) Area of \(\Delta=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \frac{ h ^2}{\sin ^2 60}=\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}}\)
