The area of the circle passing through the points 5 , ± 2 , 1 , 2 is

The area of the circle passing through the points 5,±2,1,2 is
  1. 8π
  2. 4π
  3. 2π
  4. 16π

Solution

Plotting the diagram of given points we get,

​​​​​​​

Now AB=42+02=4

And AC=42+42=42

And BC=02+42=4

 AB2+BC2=AC2 {as 16+16=32}

 It is right angled triangle.

 Diameter =AC or hypotenuse

So, length of Diameter =42

 Radius =22

Now area will be πr2=π222=8π
