In a non-right-angled triangle δPQR, let p,q,r denote the lengths of the sides opposite to the angles at P,Q,R respectively. The median from R meets the side PQ at S, the perpendicular from P meets the side QR at E, and RS and PE intersect at 0. If p=3,q=1, and the radius of the circumcircle of the δPQR equals 1, then which of the following options is/are correct?
Options
ALength of RS=27
BArea of δSOE=123
CRadius of incircle of $\delta PRQ = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\left(2 - \sqrt{3}\right)
DLength of OE=61
Correct answer
A. Length of RS=27
Step-by-step solution
By sine rule in PQRsinPp=sinQq=sinRr=2RsinP3=sinQ1=sinR1=2\left(1\right)sinP=23 and sinQ=sinR=21P=60° or 120°,Q=30° and 150°⇒ As PQR is not a right angle triangle
Only possibility is P=120°,Q=R=30°⇒PQR is an isosceles triangle, hence, PE is also a median and ‘O’ will be centroid.
( ∆PQE and ∆PRE are congruent and E is mid point of QR )
⇒r=q=1,P=3
Option (A):
Length of median from RRS=212p2+2q2−r2=212(3)2+2(1)−1 = \dfrac{\sqrt{7}}{2}Option\left(B\right):Now,areaof\delta SEF = \dfrac{1}{4}\delta PQR...\left(i\right)andareaof\delta SOE = \dfrac{1}{3}\delta SEF...\left(ii\right)from\left(i\right)and(ii)\delta SOE = \dfrac{1}{12}\delta PQR...\left(iii\right)δPQR=21pqsinR=21×3×1×21=43δSOE=121δPQR=483
Option (D):
Length of OE
As O is centroid OE will be 31 of PEPE=212q2+2r2−p2=212+2−3=21OE=31PE=61
Option (C):
Radius of incircle =SΔ\left(i . e . \dfrac{area}{semi - perimeter}\right)=(21+1+3)43=2(2+3)3= \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\left(2 - \sqrt{3}\right)
