Let the base of a triangle lie along the line x=a and be of length 2a. The area of this triangle is

{a^2}

if the vertex lies on the lines

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

x = 0,\;x = a

Option A (

x = - a,\;x = 2a

) is incorrect. The correct answer should be

x = 0,\;x = 2a

because these lines satisfy the area condition.
