    Area of a triangle whose vertices are \[(a\cos \theta ,b\sin \theta ),\] \[(-a\sin \theta ,b\cos \theta )\] and \[(-a\cos \theta ,-b\sin \theta )\] is

    A) \[a\cos \theta \sin \theta \]

    B) \[ab\sin \theta \cos \theta \]

    C) \[\frac{1}{2}ab\]

    D) \[ab\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Area\[=\frac{1}{2}\,\,\left| \begin{matrix}    a\,\cos \theta  & b\,\sin \theta  & 1  \\    -a\,\sin \theta  & b\,\cos \theta  & 1  \\    -a\,\cos \theta  & -b\,\sin \theta  & 1  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|\]       \[=\frac{1}{2}\,(a\times b)\,\left| \,\begin{matrix}    \cos \theta  & \sin \theta  & 1  \\    -\sin \theta  & \cos \theta  & 1  \\    -\cos \theta  & -\sin \theta  & 1  \\ \end{matrix}\, \right|\]      \[=\frac{ab}{2}[\cos \theta \,(\cos \theta +\sin \theta )-\sin \theta \,(-\sin \theta +\cos \theta )\]\[+1\,({{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta )]\]     \[=\frac{ab}{2}(1+1)=ab\].
