The diagram shows the circle with equation $$\(x^{2}+y^{2}-6 x+4 y-27=0\)$$ and the tangent to the circle at the point $$\(P(5,4)\)$$. Points $$\(Q\)$$ and $$\(R\)$$ also lie on the circle, such that $$\(P Q R\)$$ is an equilateral triangle. Find the exact area of triangle $$\(P Q R\)$$. .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................................

Answer:

Radius of circle \(=\sqrt{40}\),
Area of \(\Delta C R Q=\frac{1}{2} \times(\text { their } r)^{2} \sin 120\left[=\frac{1}{2} \times 40 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right]\)
OR
Area of \(\triangle C Q X=\frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{40} \cos 30 \times \sqrt{40} \cos 60 \mathrm{OE}\left[=\frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{30} \times \sqrt{10}\right]\)
\(\mathrm{OR}\)
Area of circle \(-3 \times\) Area of segment \(=40 \pi-3 \times\left(40 \frac{\pi}{3}-10 \sqrt{3}\right)\)
OR
\(Q R=\sqrt{120}\) or \(2 \sqrt{30}\) and area \(=\frac{1}{2} Q R^{2} \sin 60\)
\(30 \sqrt{3}\)
