ABC is right angled Traingle. A semicircle with centre O is inscribed inside the triangle shown in the figure. Find area of ABOD.
Hello Kinshuk !
PQR is an Isosceles triangle so PE bisects QR
QE = ER
In ∆PQE => QE² = PQ² - PE² = 7² - PE²
In ∆PDE , DE² = PD² - PE² = 5² - PE²
Now,
QD × DR = (QE + DE) (QE - DE)
=> QD × DR = ( QE)²- ( DE)²
=> QD × DR = 7² -5² = 24
So they can only be 3 × 8 or 4 × 6.
Hence 3+8 = 11,
4+6 =10
Option ( B )
ABC is a triangle with area 1. AF = AB/3, BE = BC/3 and ED = FD. Find the area of the shaded figure.
Choose one answer.
a. 1/2
b. 13/16
c. 5/9
d. 1/3
Hello Abhi,
Please find the solution
A(ABC) = 1
A(ACF) = 1/3 and A(BCF) = 2/3.
A(BFE) = (1/3)*(2/3) = 2/9. So A(AFEC) = 7/9.
A(FBD = A(EBD) = 1/9.
A(EDC) = 2*A(EBD) = 2/9.
A(FDA) = (1/2)*A(FBD) = 1/18.
A(ADC) = A(AFEC) - A(EDC) - A(FDA) = (7/9) - (2/9) - (1/18) = 1/2

Hello sir,
Please solve
32 – (1+x)2 = 33-(2-x)2
1+x2+2x=4+x2-4x
6x = 3
x =1/2
AE = 3(sqrt3)/2
AD2 =(3(sqrt3)/2)2 + (1/2)2 =27/4 + 1/4 = 7
AD = sqrt7
Hello sir,
please solve this question
Hello Tina,
Please find the solutions,
In triangle ABC ,Produce a line from B to meet AC,meeting at D and From C to AB,meeting at E.let BD and CE meeet at X.let triangle BXE have area a,triangle BXC have area b and triangle CXD have area c.find the area of quadrilateral AEXD in terms of a,b,and c
a) bc(2a+b+c)/b^2-ac
b)ac(a+2b +c)/b^2-ac
c)abc/b^2-ac
d)ab(a+b +2c)/b^2-ac
ake a special case. Assume ABC is an equilateral triangle.
Let's assume D is the mid point on AC and E is the mid point on AB.
Now Area(BXE) = Area(CXD) = a = c
Then for this case Area(BXC) = b = 2a
And area of AEXD = 2a (it's very simple to calculate now)
Now, check all options:
- a) 2a*a(2a+2a+a)/4a^2-a^2 = 10a/3
- b) a*a(6a)/4a^2-a^2 = 2a
c)a*2a*a/4a^2-a^2 = 2a/3
- d) a*a(a+2a+2a)/4a^2-a^2 = 5a/3
Only b) matches. So, it is the answer.
Three altitudes of a triangle are 12cm, 20cm and 25 cm. Find the perimeter of the triangle. How to solve this one?
Hello Hemant!
Ratio of sides :
1/12 : 1/20 : 1/15 => 5x : 3x : 4x
Area => 1/2 • 3x•4x = 1/2 • 12 • 5x
x = 5
Perimeter => 5x + 4x + 3x = 5 × ( 5+3+4) = 60 🙂
The perimeter of a right triangle is 12+8√3. The sum of the squares of the three sides is 294. Find the length of the hypotenuse.
Given that P2+ B2 + H2 = 294
and P2 + B2 = H2
So, H2 + H2 = 294
2H2 = 294
H2 = 147 = 49 x 3
H = 7 sqrt(3)
The sides of a right triangle are 3 4 5
A point is taken on the hypotenuse at a distance of 2 cm from the vertex adjacent to the 4 side. Find the distance from this point to the vertex of the right triangle.
Question 28 sir
The alternate approach for the question
The sides of a right triangle are 3 4 5
A point is taken on the hypotenuse at a distance of 2 cm from the vertex adjacent to the 4 side. Find the distance from this point to the vertex of the right triangle.
Let's say MN intersect AX at O ,
MO = 1/2 BX
∆AMO and ∆ABX are similar triangles so
Area∆ AMO/ Area∆ABX = MO²/BX² = 1/4
So if Area of ∆AMO = x ,then Area ABX = 4x and Area MOXB = 4x - x = 3x ( shaded area )
Area of ∆ABC = 2 × Area ∆ABX = 8x
Hence required ratio = 3x/ 8x = 3 : 8
