tions:

  • Correct answer
    A
    40x2-81y2-40x-800=0
  • B
    40x2+9y2-25x+800=0
  • C
    40x2-9y2=800
  • D
    5x2-3y2+3x-4y+25=0

Solution

Given,

The perimeter of a triangle is 20 and two of its vertices are -5,0 and 6,0,

Now let the third vertex be x,y,

Now by formula of perimeter of triangle we get,

20=x+52+y2+6+52+x-62+y2

⇒20=x+52+y2+11+x-62+y2

⇒9-x-62+y2=x+52+y2

Now squaring both side we get,

⇒92+x-62+y2-18x-62+y2=x+52+y2

⇒92+x-62-x+52=18x-62+y2

⇒92-22x=18x-62+y2

⇒46-11x2=92x-62+y2

⇒40x2-81y2-40x-800=0

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
