Tangents are drawn at points $(x_i, y_i); i = 1, 2, 3$ lying on the parabola $y = x^2$ to enclose a triangle of area $\Delta$. If $x_1, x_2, x_3$ form an increasing arithmetic progression,where $x_1 = -1$ and $y_3 = 9$,then $\Delta$ is ............. $sq. \, units$.

The point of contact of the tangent to the parabola $y^2=9x$ which passes through the point $(4, 10)$ and makes an angle $\theta$ with the positive side of the axis of the parabola where $\tan \theta > 2$, is
