9.Straight Line
hard
If $A$ and $B$ are two points on the line $3x + 4y + 15 = 0$ such that $OA = OB = 9$ units, then the area of the triangle $OAB$ is
A
$18 sq.$ units
B
$18\sqrt 2 sq.$units
C
18/$\sqrt 2 sq.$ units
D
None of these
Solution

(b) $OA = OB = 9,OD = \frac{{15}}{{\sqrt {25} }} = 3$
Therefore$AB = 2AD = 2\sqrt {81 – 9} = 2\sqrt {72} = 12\sqrt 2 $
Hence $\Delta = \frac{1}{2}(3 \times 12\sqrt 2 ) = 18\sqrt 2 $ sq. units.
