Area = \frac{1}{2} BC \times AD

let\:\:D=(3r-2,1,4r)\:\:on\:\:BC

 

DR's\:\:of \:\:AD=(3r-3,\:\:1+1,4r-2)

Since Ad is perpendicular to BC

\\(3r-3).3+2(0)+4.(4r-2)=0\\\\\\\:9r-9+0+16r-8=0

\\25r-17=0\\\\\\\:r=\frac{17}{25}

\\AD=\frac{2}{5}\cdot \sqrt{34}\\\\\\\:Area=\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{2}{5}\sqrt{34}\times 5=\sqrt{34}\:\:sq\:\:\:unit

 

 

 


Option 1)

5\sqrt{17}

Option 2)

2\sqrt{34}

Option 3)

6

Option 4)

\sqrt{34}
