Answer:
Explanation:
The area of a triangle is given by
A=hb2
where h is the height and b is the base. In the case of a right-angle triangle, h=rsinθ , b=rcosθ where r is the hypotenuse and θ is the angle between the hypotenuse and the base side. So
A=rsinθrcosθ2=r2sinθcosθ2 .
Similarly, the perimeter P is given by
P=r+h+b=r(1+sinθ+cosθ).
If we square the perimeter, we get
P2=r2(1+(sinθ+cosθ))2=
r2(1+2(sinθ+cosθ)+cos2θ+2cosθsinθ+sin2θ=
r2(1+2(sinθ+cosθ)+1+2cosθsinθ=
2r2(1+sinθ+cosθ+sinθcosθ)
Noting
P=r(1+sinθ+cosθ)
2A=r2sinθcosθ
We can substitute into the equation for P2 to get
P2=2r2(1+sinθ+cosθ+sinθcosθ)=
2r2(1+sinθ+cosθ)+2r2sinθcosθ=2rP+4A
So P2=2rP+4A , and we can solve for r :
r=P2−4A2P
You have P=60 , A=120 , so A=2P
r=P2−8P2P=P−82=26
Given the radius and area, we can find the angle \theta fairly easily, from the double-angle identity:
sin2θ=2sinθcosθ
Noting
A=r2sinθcosθ2
A=r2sin2θ4
sin2θ=4Ar2
I tried fiddling with various identities to see if I could come up with a nice expression for \theta, but haven’t been able to. However:
θ=arcsin4Ar22
4A=480,r2=(4)(169) , so 4Ar2=120169=.71 , θ=.39
So sinθ=0.384 , cosθ=0.923 . and the sides are 26, 24, 10
