9.Straight Line
hard

Let $B$ and $C$ be the two points on the line $y+x=0$ such that $B$ and $C$ are symmetric with respect to the origin. Suppose $A$ is a point on $y -2 x =2$ such that $\triangle ABC$ is an equilateral triangle. Then, the area of the $\triangle ABC$ is

A

$3 \sqrt{3}$

B

$2 \sqrt{3}$

C

$\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}}$

D

$\frac{10}{\sqrt{3}}$

Solution

At A $x=y$

$Y-2 x=2$

$(-2,-2)$

Height from line $x + y =0$

$h=\frac{4}{\sqrt{2}}$

Area of $\Delta=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \frac{ h ^2}{\sin ^2 60}=\frac{8}{\sqrt{3}}$
