Tangency

I know this is an easy one, but don't know why I am not getting the right answer.

The extremeties of a diagnol of rectangle are (-4,4) and (6,-1). A circle circumscribes the rectangle and cuts an intercept AB on the y-axis. The area of the triangle formed by AB and the tangents to the circle at A and B is :-
(a) 1233 / 8 sq units (b)1233 sq units
(c) 363/8 sq units (d) none
