To find the equation of the line that forms a triangle of area \(54\sqrt{3}\) square units with the coordinate axes, and for which the perpendicular drawn from the origin makes an angle of \(60^\circ\) with the x-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Area of the Triangle The area \(A\) of a triangle formed by a line with the coordinate axes can be expressed as: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \] Let the x-intercept be \(a\) and the y-intercept be \(b\). Then the area can be rewritten as: ...
