NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 4 Determinants Ex 4.3

Ex 4.3 Class 12 Maths Question 1.
Find the area of the triangle with vertices at the point given in each of the following:
(i) (1,0), (6,0) (4,3)
(ii) (2,7), (1,1), (10,8)
(iii) (-2,-3), (3,2), (-1,-8)
Solution:
(i) Area of triangle = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left| \begin{matrix} 1\quad & 0 & \quad 1 \\ 6\quad & 0 & \quad 1 \\ 4\quad & 3 & \quad 1 \end{matrix} \right|
= \\ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } [1(0-3)+1(18-0)]
= 7.5 sq units

Ex 4.3 Class 12 Maths Question 2.
Show that the points A (a, b + c), B (b, c + a) C (c, a+b) are collinear.
Solution:
The vertices of ∆ABC are A (a, b + c), B (b, c + a) and C (c, a + b)
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 4 Determinants Ex 4.3 Q2.1

Ex 4.3 Class 12 Maths Question 3.
Find the value of k if area of triangle is 4 square units and vertices are
(i) (k, 0), (4,0), (0,2)
(ii) (-2,0), (0,4), (0, k).
Solution:
(i) Area of ∆ = 4 (Given)
\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left| \begin{matrix} k\quad & 0 & \quad 1 \\ 4\quad & 0 & \quad 1 \\ 0\quad & 2 & \quad 1 \end{matrix} \right|
= \\ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } [-2k+8]
= -k+4
Case (a): -k + 4 = 4 ==> k = 0
Case(b): -k + 4 = -4 ==> k = 8
Hence, k = 0,8
(ii) The area of the triangle whose vertices are (-2,0), (0,4), (0, k)
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 4 Determinants Ex 4.3 Q3.1

Ex 4.3 Class 12 Maths Question 4.
(i) Find the equation of line joining (1, 2) and (3,6) using determinants.
(ii) Find the equation of line joining (3,1), (9,3) using determinants.
Solution:
(i) Given: Points (1,2), (3,6)
Equation of the line is
NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 4 Determinants Ex 4.3 Q4.1

Ex 4.3 Class 12 Maths Question 5.
If area of triangle is 35 sq. units with vertices (2, – 6), (5,4) and (k, 4). Then k is
(a) 12
(b) – 2
(c) -12,-2
(d) 12,-2
Solution:
(d) Area of ∆ = \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left| \begin{matrix} 2\quad & -6 & \quad 1 \\ 5\quad & 4 & \quad 1 \\ k\quad & 4 & \quad 1 \end{matrix} \right|
= \\ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } [50 – 10k] = 25 – 5k
∴ 25-5k = 35 or 25-5k = -35
-5k = 10 or 5k = 60
=> k = -2 or k = 12
