Question

The maximum area of the convex polygon formed by joining the points A0,0,B2t2,0,C18,2,D8r2,4 and E0,2, where tR0 and interior angle at vertex B is greater than or equal to 900 is 

Moderate
Solution

Slope of BC=20182t20

182t20

t290t3,3

Now area of quadrilateral 

= Area of trapezium ABCE+AreaoftriangleCDE

=122t2+18×2+12×18×2

=36+2t254

So, the required maximum area is 54 aq. units
