We have x=acosθ+aθsinθ

dxdθ=asinθ+asinθ+aθcosθ=aθcosθy=asinθaθcosθdydθ=acosθacosθ+aθsinθ=aθsinθdydx=dydθ.dθdx=aθsinθaθcosθ=tanθ

 Slope of the normal at any point θ is 1tanθ

The equation of the normal at a given point (x,y) is given by,

yasinθ+aθcosθ=1tanθ(xacosθaθsinθ)ysinθasin2θ+aθsinθcosθ=xcosθ+acos2θ+aθsinθcosθxcosθ+ysinθa(sin2θ+cos2θ)=0xcosθ+ysinθa=0

Now, the perpendicular distance of the normal from the origin is

C D = ( 1 0 + x 2 ) 2 ( 1 0 x 2 ) 2 = 2 1 0 | x |

Area 

= 1 2 × C D × A B = 1 2 × 2 1 0 | x | ( 2 0 2 x 2 )

1 0 x 2 = 2 x

3x2 = 10

 x = k

3k2 = 10

From option let it be isosceles where AB = AC then

x = r 2 ( h r ) 2            

r 2 h 2 r 2 + 2 r h

x = 2 h r h 2 . . . . . . . . ( i )

 Now ar ( Δ A B C ) = Δ = 1 2 B C × A L

Δ = 1 2 × 2 2 h r a 2 × h        

then  x = 2 × 3 r 2 × r 9 r 2 4 = 3 2 r f r o m ( i )

B C = 3 r    

So A B = h 2 + x 2 = 9 r 2 4 + 3 r 2 4 = 3 r .

Hence Δ be equilateral having each side of length 3 r .
