Quantitative Aptitude Question on Mensuration

The vertices of a triangle are (0,0),(4,0) and (3,9). The area of the circle passing through these three points is

A

14π3\frac{14π}{3}

B

12π5\frac{12π}{5}

C

123π7\frac{123π}{7}

D

205π9\frac{205π}{9}

Answer

205π9\frac{205π}{9}

Explanation

Solution

a=4,  b=90,  c=82a=4,\; b=\sqrt{90},\; c=\sqrt{82}

Area of the triangle = 12×4×9=18\frac{1}{2}×4×9=18

The circumradius of the triangle (R)=abc4Δ(R)=\frac{abc}{4Δ}

Area of the circle = πR2=π(abc4Δ)=π(4.90.82)2(4.18)2πR^2 = π\bigg(\frac{abc}{4Δ}\bigg) = \frac{π(4.\sqrt{90}.\sqrt{82})^2}{(4.18)^2}

= π×16×90×8216×18×18=2059ππ×\frac{16×90×82}{16×18×18} = \frac{205}{9}π

So, the correct answer is (D): 205π9\frac{205π}{9}
