A) \[0\]
B) \[4\]
C) \[6\]
D) none of these
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Key Idea: For cyclic quadrilateral Area\[=\sqrt{(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)(s-d)}\] \[\therefore \]Let points are \[A(2,\,\,3),\,\,B(3,\,\,4),\,\,C(4,\,\,5),\,\,D(5,\,\,6)\] \[\therefore \] \[AB=\sqrt{{{(3-2)}^{2}}+{{(4-3)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{2}\] Similarly, \[BC=\sqrt{2},\,\,CD=\sqrt{2}\] and \[DA=3\sqrt{2}\] \[\therefore \] \[a=\sqrt{2}=b=c,\,\,d=3\sqrt{2}\] Now, \[s=\frac{a+b+c+d}{2}\] \[=\frac{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}+3\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{2}=3\sqrt{2}\] \[\therefore \]Area\[=\sqrt{(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)(s-d)}\] \[=\sqrt{(3\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{2})(3\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{2})}\] \[=0\] Alternate Method: Area of quadrilateral\[=\]Area of\[\Delta ABD+\]Area of\[\Delta BDC\] ?
