Correct answer: NO OPTION MATCHES; BASED ON THE GIVEN DATA, THE AREA IS $\SQRT{370}$.
- Write the line in parametric form
The given line is
So a general point on the line is
Since is the foot of the perpendicular from to the line, vector must be perpendicular to the direction vector of the line.
The direction vector of the line is
- Form the perpendicularity condition
We have
Thus
Since ,
So,
Hence,
- Find the lengths needed for the right triangle
Given .
Now,
So,
Also,
So,
- Use the fact that triangle is right-angled at
Since is the foot of the perpendicular from on the given line and lies on that line, segment is along the line. Therefore,
Hence triangle is right-angled at , so its area is
Therefore,
- Compare with options
The computed area is which does not match any of the given options.
So the stored correct answer is not consistent with the data in the question.
A quick check confirms that is not on the given line, because for : which are not equal. Thus the statement "triangle is right angled" is inconsistent unless there is a typo in point .
So based on the given data, the area is and the provided answer is incorrect.
