In a non-right-angled triangleΔPQR,letp,q,rdenote the lengths of the sides opposite to the angles atP,Q,Rrespectively. The median fromRmeets the sidePQatS,the perpendicular fromPmeets the sideQRatE, andRSandPEintersect at0.Ifp=3,q=1,and the radius of the circumcircle of theΔPQRequals1,then which of the following options is/are correct?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, C, D
Solution:

By sine rule inPQRpsinP=qsinQ=rsinR=2R3sinP=1sinQ=1sinR=21sinP=32andsinQ=sinR=12P=60°or120°, Q=30°and150°AsPQRis not a right angle triangle Only possibility isP=120°, Q=R=30°PQRis an isosceles triangle, hence,PEis also a median andOwill be centroid. (PQEandPREare congruent andEis mid point ofQR) r=q=1, P=3OptionA:Length of median fromRRS=122p2+2q2-r2=12232+2(1)-1=72OptionB:Now, area ofΔSEF=14ΔPQR...iand area ofΔSOE=13ΔSEF...iifromiandiiΔSOE=112ΔPQR...iiiΔPQR=12pq sinR=12×3×1×12=34ΔSOE=112ΔPQR=348OptionD:Length ofOEAsOis centroidOEwill be13ofPEPE=122q2+2r2-p2=122+2-3=12OE=13 PE=16OptionC:Radius of incircle=ΔS         i.e.areasemi-perimeter=341+1+32=322+3=322-3
