उत्तर
The verticals of the triangle are A(2,1) , B (4,3) and C(2,5).
`"Coordinates of midpoint of" AB = P (x_1,y_1)= ((2+4)/2,(1+3)/2) = (3,2)`
`"Coordinates of midpoint of " BC = Q(x_2,y_2) = ((4+2)/2,(3+5)/2) = (3,4)`
`"Coordinates of midpoint of" AC =R (x_3,y_3) = ((2+2)/2, (1+5)/2) = (2,3)`
Now,
`"Area of " ΔPQR =1/2 [x_2(y_2-y_3) +x_2 (y_3-y_1) +x_3 (y_1-y_2)]`
`=1/2[3(4-3)+3(3-2)+2(2-4)]`
`=1/2[3+3-4]=1` sq. unit
Hence, the area of the quadrilateral triangle is 1 sq. unit.

If the points P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y) are collinear, then find the relation between x and y.
Given points are P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y).
The given points are collinear, so the area of the triangle formed by them is `square`.
∴ `1/2 |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| = square`
`1/2 |1(square) + 0(square) + x(square)| = square`
`square + square + square` = 0
`square + square` = 0
`square = square`
Hence, the relation between x and y is `square`.
