Answer» Given: A and b are two points (3,4) , (5,-2) and PA=PB and area of triangle PAB= 10 SQUARE units. To find: The coordinates of P Solution: Let the COORDINATE P be (x,y) Since it is given that PA = PB So, firstly we will calculate the distance PA. PA = (x,y) (3,4) Distance PA = \sqrt{(3-x)^{2}+(4-y)^{2}} PB=(x,y) (5,-2) Distance PB = \sqrt{(5-x)^{2}+(-2-y)^{2}} So, \sqrt{(3-x)^{2}+(4-y)^{2}}=\sqrt{(5-x)^{2}+(-2-y)^{2}} Squaring both the sides in the above equation, {(3-x)^{2}+(4-y)^{2}}={(5-x)^{2}+(-2-y)^{2}} 9+x^{2}-6x+16+y^{2}-8y=25+x^{2}-10x+4+y^{2}+4y -6x-8y=-10x+4+4y 4x-12y=4 x-3y=1 (Equation 1) Now,it is given that Area of triangle PAB = 10 Area of triangle of (3,4) (5,-2) and (x,y) Area of triangle is given by the FORMULA= \frac{1}{2}[x_{1}(y_{2}-y_{3})+x_{2}(y_{3}-y_{1})+x_{3}(y_{1}-y_{2})] Area of triangle PAB = \frac{1}{2}[3(-2-y)+5(y-4)+x(4+2)]=10 -6+2y-20+6x=20 46=2y+6x 3x+y=23 (Equation 2) Now, solving EQUATIONS 1 and 2. Since x-3y=1 therefore, x = 3y+1 Equation 2 implies, 3(3y+1)+y=23 9y+3+y=23 10y=20 y= 2 x=3y+1 x=(3 \times 2)+1 x= 7 Therefore, the coordinates are (7,2). your answer
