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.
