Question

The maximum area of the convex polygon formed by joining the points A(0, 0), B(2t2,0), C(18,2), D8t2,4 and E(0,2), where tR{0} and interior angle at vertex B is greater than or equal to 90° is _______ .

Moderate
Solution

Slope of BC is 20182t20
182t20t290t[3,3]
Now, area of polygon ABCDE
= area of trapezium ABCE + area of triangle CDE
=122t2+18×2+12×18×2=36+2t254
So, required maximum area is 54 sq. units.
