To find the equation of the line that forms a triangle of area \(54\sqrt{3}\) square units with the coordinate axes, and where the perpendicular from the origin to the line makes an angle of \(60^\circ\) with the X-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry The line intersects the X-axis at point \(A(a, 0)\) and the Y-axis at point \(B(0, b)\). The area of triangle \(OAB\) formed by the line and the axes is given by the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times a \times b \] We know the area is \(54\sqrt{3}\), so we can set up the equation: ...
