In a triangle ABCA B C, the median from BB to CAC A is perpendicular to the median from CC to ABA B. If the median from AA to BCB C is 30 , determine \left(B C^2+C A^2+A B^2\right) / 100$.In a triangle A B C , the median from B to C A is perpendicular to the median from C to A B . If the median from A to B

Correct answer

24

Step-by-step solution

In a triangle A B C , the median from B to C A is perpendicular to the median from C to A B . If the median from A to B
Let G be centroid, D,E,F\mathrm{D}, \mathrm{E}, \mathrm{F} be mid-points of BC,CA,AB\mathrm{BC}, \mathrm{CA}, \mathrm{AB} \& M be mid-point of FE . Let BE=3x,CF=3y\mathrm{BE}=3 \mathrm{x}, \mathrm{CF}=3 \mathrm{y}, given AD=30\mathrm{AD}=30 Hence AM=5,GM=5,GD=10,BG=2x,\mathrm{AM}=5, \mathrm{GM}=5, \mathrm{GD}=10, \mathrm{BG}=2 \mathrm{x},\mathrm{GE}=\mathrm{x},CG=2y,GF=y, \mathrm{CG}=2 \mathrm{y}, \mathrm{GF}=\mathrm{y} Now DD is mid-point of hypotenuse of right angle triangle BGCB G C. So DD is circum centre of the triangle. SO\mathrm{SO}\mathrm{BD}=\mathrm{GD}=10⇒BC=20=10 \Rightarrow \mathrm{BC}=20 Hence 4(x2+y2)=400⇒x2+y2=1004\left(x^2+y^2\right)=400 \Rightarrow x^2+y^2=100 Now 9(x2+y2)=14{2BC2+2AB2−AC2+2BC2+2AC2−AB2}9\left(x^2+y^2\right)=\frac{1}{4}\left\{2 B C^2+2 A B^2-A C^2+2 B C^2+2 A C^2-A B^2\right\} ⇒900×4=4BC2+AB2+AC2⇒AB2+AC2=3600−1600=2000\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow 900 \times 4=4 B C^2+A B^2+A C^2 \\ & \Rightarrow A B^2+A C^2=3600-1600=2000 \end{aligned} Hence AB2+BC2+CA2100=2400100=24\frac{A B^2+B C^2+C A^2}{100}=\frac{2400}{100}=24
