A triangle has a 60° angle, and the two adjacent sides are 12 and 12 multiplied by the square root of 3 . Find the radius of a circle with the same vertex as a center, if the arc inside the triangle divides it into two regions of equal area.

Sagot :

The radius is given from the area of the sector which is half the area of

the triangle.

Response:

  • The radius of the circle is approximately 10.16 units

Which is the method by which the radius can be calculated?

Given parameter;

Angle at the vertex of the triangle that is the center of the circle = 60°

Length of the adjacent sides of the 60° angle = 12, and 12·√3

The arc of the circle inside the triangle divides it into two equal parts

Required:

To find the radius of the circle that has a center at the vertex of the

triangle.

Solution:

[tex]The \ area \ of \ a \ triangle\ is, \ A = \mathbf{ \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot a \cdot b \cdot sin(C)}[/tex]

Where;

a, and b, are the adjacent sides to the angle C, therefore;

a = 12

b = 12·√3

C = 60°

Which gives;

  • [tex]A = \mathbf{ \dfrac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 12 \cdot \sqrt{3} \times sin(60^{\circ})} = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 12 \cdot \sqrt{3} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{2} = 108[/tex]

The area of the triangle, A = 108 square units

[tex]Area \ of \ the \ sector, \ A_{sector} = \mathbf{ \dfrac{\pi \cdot r^2}{360^{\circ}} \times 60^{\circ}} = \dfrac{A}{2}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]A_{sector} = \dfrac{\pi \cdot r^2}{360^{\circ}} \times 60^{\circ} = \dfrac{108}{2} = 54[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]\dfrac{\pi \cdot r^2}{360^{\circ}} \times 60^{\circ} = \dfrac{\pi \cdot r^2}{6} = 54[/tex]

[tex]r^2= \dfrac{54 \times 6}{\pi} = \dfrac{324}{\pi}[/tex]

[tex]r= \sqrt{ \dfrac{324}{\pi}} = \dfrac{18}{\sqrt{\pi} } = \dfrac{18 \cdot \sqrt{\pi} }{\pi} \approx \mathbf{10.16}[/tex]

  • The radius of the circle, r 10.16 units
