The area of the triangle formed by the tangent drawn at the point (–12, 5) on the circle x² + y² = 169 with the coordinate axes is

Equation  of Tangent at (-12,5) is x(–12) + y(5) = 169

Area of triangle formed  by tangent with co ordinate axis =$\frac{c^2}{\left|2ab\right|}=\frac{{\left(169\right)}^2}{2\left(12\right)5}=\frac{28561}{120}$
