The correct Answer is:
To find the area of the triangle with vertices at the points \((at_1^2, 2at_1)\), \((at_2^2, 2at_2)\), and \((at_3^2, 2at_3)\), we can use the formula for the area of a triangle given by the coordinates of its vertices: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left| x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) \right| \] ### Step 1: Assign the coordinates Let: - \( (x_1, y_1) = (at_1^2, 2at_1) \) - \( (x_2, y_2) = (at_2^2, 2at_2) \) - \( (x_3, y_3) = (at_3^2, 2at_3) \) ### Step 2: Substitute the coordinates into the area formula Substituting the coordinates into the area formula gives: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left| at_1^2(2at_2 - 2at_3) + at_2^2(2at_3 - 2at_1) + at_3^2(2at_1 - 2at_2) \right| \] ### Step 3: Simplify the expression Factoring out \(2a\) from each term: \[ = \frac{1}{2} \left| 2a \left( at_1^2(t_2 - t_3) + at_2^2(t_3 - t_1) + at_3^2(t_1 - t_2) \right) \right| \] This simplifies to: \[ = a \left| at_1^2(t_2 - t_3) + at_2^2(t_3 - t_1) + at_3^2(t_1 - t_2) \right| \] ### Step 4: Factor out \(a\) Now we can factor out \(a\): \[ = a^2 \left| t_1^2(t_2 - t_3) + t_2^2(t_3 - t_1) + t_3^2(t_1 - t_2) \right| \] ### Final Step: Write the final area expression Thus, the area of the triangle is: \[ \text{Area} = a^2 \left| t_1^2(t_2 - t_3) + t_2^2(t_3 - t_1) + t_3^2(t_1 - t_2) \right| \]
