b) The three points
A x1 , y1 , B x 2 , y2 , C x 3 , y3 B x 2 , y 2 and C x 3 , y3 , show that x 2 y 2 2
are collinear if and only if the area of the triangle is x 3 y3 2

2. Using determinants, find the area of the 16 2 (By Area formula)
triangle whose vertices are -
L.H.S = R.H.S.
1, 1 , 2, 4 , 3, 5
and also find whether the points are collinear. Applications of simultaneous linear
Soln:- Area of the triangle = absolute value of equations

1
2 4 1 the third number by 2 and add the first number
2
3 5 1 to the result, we get 7. By adding second and
1 third numbers to three times the first number, we

1 1 Soln:- Let the three numbers be x, y and z
1 5 22 26
2 2 respectively, then,
13 sq.units x +y + z = 6.
Since the area of the triangle is not equal to Also, x + 2z = 7[given] and,
zero, the three given points are not collinear. 3x + y + z = 12
3. Find the value of x, if the area of the triangle is Thus, we obtain the following system of
35 sq.units with vertices simultaneous linear equations:
x, 4 , 2, 6 , 5, 4 x+y+z=6
x + 0y + 2z = 7
