  1. Find the focus SSS of the hyperbola

Given hyperbola: x23−y25=1\frac{x^2}{3}-\frac{y^2}{5}=13x2​−5y2​=1

This is of the form x2a2−y2b2=1\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1a2x2​−b2y2​=1 with a2=3,b2=5.a^2=3,\quad b^2=5.a2=3,b2=5.

For such a hyperbola, c2=a2+b2=3+5=8  ⟹  c=22.c^2=a^2+b^2=3+5=8 \implies c=2\sqrt{2}.c2=a2+b2=3+5=8⟹c=22​.

So the focus on the positive xxx-axis is S=(22,0).S=(2\sqrt{2},0).S=(22​,0).


  1. Use the fact that SABSABSAB is a diameter of the circle

The circle has centre at A=(6,5).A=(\sqrt{6},\sqrt{5}).A=(6​,5​).

If SABSABSAB is a diameter, then AAA is the midpoint of SBSBSB. So if B=(xB,yB),B=(x_B,y_B),B=(xB​,yB​), then (22+xB2,0+yB2)=(6,5).\left(\frac{2\sqrt{2}+x_B}{2},\frac{0+y_B}{2}\right)=(\sqrt{6},\sqrt{5}).(222​+xB​​,20+yB​​)=(6​,5​).

Hence, xB=26−22,yB=25.x_B=2\sqrt{6}-2\sqrt{2},\qquad y_B=2\sqrt{5}.xB​=26​−22​,yB​=25​.

Therefore, B=(26−22, 25).B=(2\sqrt{6}-2\sqrt{2},\,2\sqrt{5}).B=(26​−22​,25​).


  1. Find the area of triangle OSBOSBOSB

We have O=(0,0),S=(22,0),B=(26−22,25).O=(0,0),\quad S=(2\sqrt{2},0),\quad B=(2\sqrt{6}-2\sqrt{2},2\sqrt{5}).O=(0,0),S=(22​,0),B=(26​−22​,25​).

Since OOO and SSS lie on the xxx-axis, base OSOSOS is OS=22.OS=2\sqrt{2}.OS=22​.

The perpendicular distance of BBB from the xxx-axis is 25.2\sqrt{5}.25​.

So area of triangle OSBOSBOSB is

=\frac12\cdot 2\sqrt{2}\cdot 2\sqrt{5} =2\sqrt{10}.$$ --- 4. **Square of the area** $$\Delta^2=(2\sqrt{10})^2=4\cdot 10=40.$$ --- 5. **Compare with stored answer** Derived answer = $40$. Stored correct answer = $40$. They match.
