Ellipse
Question

 The area of the rectangle formed by the perpendiculars  from centre of x29+y24=1 to the tangent and normal at 

 the point whose eccentric angle is π4 is A . The value of 13A is

Moderate
Solution

 Equation of tangent at point Pπ4 is 

x3cosπ4+y2sinπ4=1or   2x+3y62=0

Equation of normal at P is

32x22y5=0

 Distance of centre from the tangent is 6213 . 

 Distance of centre from the normal is 5213 . 

  Area of required rectangle =6213×5213=3013 sq. units.
