The equation of the chord of contact of the two tangents that can be drawn from P(4,3)  to the circle x2+y2=9is(S1=0)  
4x+3y9=0          .......(1) 
For area of ΔPAB,  we need
|AB|and|MP| 
Here, |OP|=(40)2+(30)2=5 
Also, |OM|  = distance of O(0,0)  from line (1)
 Question Image
 =|0+09|42+32=95
    |AB|=2(radius)2OM2 
 =232(95)2=214425=245
and  |MP|=|OP||OM|
=595=165 
Here area  ΔPAB=12|AB||MP|
=12(245)(165)=19225square units 
  64Δ25=19225Δ=3.
