Area of the rhombus bounded by the four lines, $ax \pm by \pm c = 0$ is :

A

$\frac{{{c^2}}}{{2\,ab}}$

B

$\frac{{2\,{c^2}}}{{ab}}$

C

$\frac{{4\,{c^2}}}{{ab}}$

D

$\frac{{ab}}{{4\,{c^2}}}$

Solution

The four lines will form a rhombus. The coordinates of the vertices are $\left(-\frac{ c }{ a }, 0\right),\left(\frac{ c }{ a }, 0\right),\left(0, \frac{ c }{ b }\right),\left(0,-\frac{ c }{ b }\right)$

Let $d _1, d _2$ be the diagonals of the rhombus.

$d _1=\frac{2 c }{ a }$

$d _2=\frac{2 c }{ b }$

$\text { Area }=\frac{1}{2} d _1 \cdot d _2=\frac{2 c ^2}{ ab }$
