The area (in sq. units) of an equilateral triangle inscribed in the parabola \(\mathrm{y}^{2}=8 \mathrm{x},\) with one of its vertices on the vertex of this parabola, is 

  1. A \(64 \sqrt{3}\)
  2. B \(256 \sqrt{3}\)
  3. C \(192 \sqrt{3}\)
  4. D \(128 \sqrt{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(192 \sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{4 \mathrm{t}}{2 \mathrm{t}^{2}}=\frac{2}{\mathrm{t}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{t}=2 \sqrt{3}\) \(\mathrm{AB}=8 \mathrm{t}=16 \sqrt{3}\) Area \(=256.3 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}=192 \sqrt{3}\)
