An equilateral triangle is constructed between the lines \(\sqrt{3} x+y-6=0\) and \(\sqrt{3} x+y+9=0\) with base on one line and vertex on the other. The area (in sq. units) of the triangle so formed is

  1. A \(\frac{175}{6 \sqrt{3}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{225}{2 \sqrt{3}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{225}{4 \sqrt{3}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{245}{4 \sqrt{2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{225}{4 \sqrt{3}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Distance between parallel lines \( =\frac{\left|d_1-d_2\right|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}=\frac{|9+6|}{\sqrt{3+1}}=\frac{15}{2} \) Also for equilateral triangle…
