Question

The equations of two sides of a square are 5x − 12y − 65 = 0 and 5x − 12y + 26 = 0. Find the area of the square.

Solution

The sides of a square are
5x − 12y − 65 = 0            ... (1)
5x − 12y + 26 = 0            ... (2)
We observe that lines (1) and (2) are parallel. So, the distance between them will give the length of the side of the square.
Let d be the distance between the given lines.

\[\Rightarrow d = \left| \frac{- 65 - 26}{\sqrt{5^2 + \left( - 12 \right)^2}} \right| = \frac{91}{13} = 7\]
∴ Area of the square = 72
                                   = 49 square units
