For a parabola y2=4axy^{2} = 4ax, let Δ1\Delta_{1} be the area of the triangle formed by three points PP, QQ, and RR on the curve. Let Δ2\Delta_{2} be the area of the triangle formed by the tangents drawn to the parabola at these three points. If Δ1\Delta_{1} is calculated to be 6464 square units, determine the value of Δ2\Delta_{2}.
