Question

If in a triangle ABC, AB = 5 units, B=cos1(35)\angle B = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {{3 \over 5}} \right) and radius of circumcircle of Δ\DeltaABC is 5 units, then the area (in sq. units) of Δ\DeltaABC is :

Options

Solution

As, cosB=35B=53\cos B = {3 \over 5} \Rightarrow B = 53^\circ As, R=5csinc=2RR = 5 \Rightarrow {c \over {\sin c}} = 2R 510=sincC=30\Rightarrow {5 \over {10}} = \sin c \Rightarrow C = 30^\circ Now, bsinB=2Rb=2(5)(45)=8{b \over {\sin B}} = 2R \Rightarrow b = 2(5)\left( {{4 \over 5}} \right) = 8 Now, by cosine formula cosB=a2+c2b22ac\cos B = {{{a^2} + {c^2} - {b^2}} \over {2ac}} 35=a2+25642(5)a \Rightarrow {3 \over 5} = {{{a^2} + 25 - 64} \over {2(5)a}} a26a3g=0 \Rightarrow {a^2} - 6a - 3g = 0 \therefore a=6±1922=6±832a = {{6 \pm \sqrt {192} } \over 2} = {{6 \pm 8\sqrt 3 } \over 2} 3+43\Rightarrow 3 + 4\sqrt 3 (Reject a=343a = 3 - 4\sqrt 3 ) Now, Δ=abc4R=(3+43)(8)(5)4(5)=2(3+43)\Delta = {{abc} \over {4R}} = {{(3 + 4\sqrt 3 )(8)(5)} \over {4(5)}} = 2(3 + 4\sqrt 3 ) Δ=(6+83) \Rightarrow \Delta = (6 + 8\sqrt 3 ) \Rightarrow Option (3) is correct.
