Consider an obtuse angled triangle ABC in which the difference between the largest and the smallest angle is 2π and whose sides are in arithmetic progression. Suppose that the vertices of this triangle lie on a circle of radius 1.
(There are two questions based on PARAGRAPH"1", the question given below is one of them) Then the inradius of the triangle ABC is
Correct answer
0.25
Step-by-step solution
Let angle A be obtuse angle and let sides be a−d,a,a+d
So, plotting the diagram we get,
Now let sides be, a−d,a,a+d
Also given angle A−C=2π
And circum radius R=1
Now by sine rule we get,
sinAa+d=sinBa=sinCa−d=2
∵A=2π+C
⇒sinA=sin(2π+C)
⇒sinA=cosC
⇒2a+d=1−sin2C
⇒(2a+d)2=1−(2a−d)2
⇒42(a2+d2)=1
⇒a2+d2=2...(1)
Now using cosine rule we get,
cosB=2(a2−d2)(a−d)2+(a+d)2−a2
⇒1−sin2B=2(a2−d2)2(a2+d2)−a2
⇒1−4a2=2(a2−d2)4−a2(∵a2+d2=2)
⇒(a2−d2)2=4−a2...(2)
From (1) and (2) a2=47,d2=41 Area of triangle Δ=4a(a2−d2)
