    The area of triangle RBP is:

    A)  2 sq. units

    B)  4 sq. units

    C)  \[\frac{3}{2}sq.\] units

    D)  5 sq, units

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The coordinates of the vertices R, Band Pare \[(3,5),\,\,(3,7)\]and \[(1,7)\] respectively. Now,
    \[RB=\sqrt{{{(3-3)}^{2}}+{{(7-5)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{0+4}=2\]units
    \[PB=\sqrt{{{(3-1)}^{2}}+{{(7-7)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{4+0}=2\] units
    and \[PR=\sqrt{{{(3-1)}^{2}}+{{(5-7)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{4+4}=2\sqrt{2}\] units
    \[P{{R}^{2}}+R{{B}^{2}}+P{{B}^{2}}\] and \[RB=PB\]
    \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\Delta RBP\] is a right angle isosceles triangle.
    Area of triangle
    \[\Delta RBP=\frac{1}{2}\times RB\times PB=\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 2=2sq.\]units
    So, option [a] is correct.
