Detailed Solution

The equation of the given hyperbola is  x29y24=1.

Thus, the equations of the asymptotes are 

x3+y2x3y2=0

 x3+y2=0 and x3y2=0

The equation of any tangent to the hyperbola 

x29y24=1 is

x3secφy2tanφ=1

Let the points of intersection of 2x+3y=0,2x3y=0

and x3secφy2tanφ=1 are O,P and Q respectively.

Therefore, O=(0,0),

P=3secφ+tanφ,2secφ+tanφ

and Q=3secφtanφ,2secφtanφ

Hence, the area of OPQ

=12003secφ+tanφ2secφ+tanφ3secφtanφ2secφtanφ00 

=12(6+6)=6sq.u.
