Suppose the two sides of a square are along the straight lines 6x - 8y = 15 and 4y - 3x = 2. Then the area of the square is
The two lines areΒ Β 4y - 3x = 2Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β ...(1)Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β and 6x - 8y= 15Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 4y - 3x= -7.5Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β ...(2)
As we can see $$\frac{a_{1}}{a_{2}}$$ = $$\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}$$ $$\neq$$ $$\frac{c_{1}}{c_{2}}$$; these two lines are parallel to each other.Hence the distance between these two parallel lines will be the side of the square i.e.Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β dΒ = $$\frac{|c_{1} - c_{2}|}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}$$Β Β Β (here a = -3,Β b = 4 c_{1} = 2Β c_{2} = -7.5 )
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β d =Β $$\frac{2-(-7.5)}{\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(4)^{2}}}$$ = $$\frac{9.5}{5}$$ = 1.9
The distance between the parallel lines will be equal to the length of side of the square.Β
Β $$\therefore$$ Area of square = (1.9)^{2} = 3.61 Sq. units
