Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the given circle touch the sides AB and AC of the triangle at point E and F respectively and the length of the line segment AF be x.
In ABC,
CF = CD = 6cm (Tangents on the circle from point C)
BE = BD = 8cm (Tangents on the circle from point B)
AE = AF = x (Tangents on the circle from point A)
AB = AE + EB = x + 8
BC = BD + DC = 8 + 6 = 14
CA = CF + FA = 6 + x
2s = AB + BC + CA
= x + 8 + 14 + 6 + x
= 28 + 2x
s = 14 + x
Area of ΔOBC =
Area of ΔOCA =
Area of ΔOAB =
Area of ΔABC = Area of ΔOBC + Area of ΔOCA + Area of ΔOAB
Either x+14 = 0 or x − 7 =0
Therefore, x = −14and 7
However, x = −14 is not possible as the length of the sides will be negative.
Therefore, x = 7
Hence, AB = x + 8 = 7 + 8 = 15 cm
CA = 6 + x = 6 + 7 = 13 cm
