Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(19 \mathrm{sq}\) units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given three sides of a triangle are \[ \begin{array}{r} x+8 y-22=0 ...(i)\\ 5 x+2 y-34=0 ...(ii)\\ 2 x-3 y+13=0 ...(iii) \end{array} \] On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[ x_{1}=6, y_{1}=2 \] On solving Eqs. (il) and (iii), we get \[ x_{2}=4, y_{2}=7 \] On solving Eqs. (i)…
