Question

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are 10 + x 2 , 10 + x 2 and 20 - 2x 2 . If for x = k, the area of the triangle is maximum, then 3k 2 is equal to :

Options

Solution

CD=(10+x2)2(10x2)2=210xCD = \sqrt {{{(10 + {x^2})}^2} - {{(10 - {x^2})}^2}} = 2\sqrt {10} |x| Area =12×CD×AB=12×210x(202x2) = {1 \over 2} \times CD \times AB = {1 \over 2} \times 2\sqrt {10} |x|(20 - 2{x^2}) A=10x(10x2)A = \sqrt {10} |x|(10 - {x^2}) dAdx=10xx(10x2)+10x(2x)=0{{dA} \over {dx}} = \sqrt {10} {{|x|} \over x}(10 - {x^2}) + \sqrt {10} |x|( - 2x) = 0 10x2=2x2 \Rightarrow 10 - {x^2} = 2{x^2} 3x2=103{x^2} = 10 x=kx = k 3k2=103{k^2} = 10
