A circle is circumscribed around triangle ABC, find length?

[Helly123]

some formula related

I tried to draw the problem

can anyone give me clue how to solve it?

Hi Helly123

In order to be helped you must first tell us what is asked. Also, think about it for a while and tell how do you think you must go about solving it (at least in rough lines).

 

[Buffu]

Arc-length is $l = r \theta$.

Hi Helly123

the question : (1) how the length of arcs AB, BC, CA, expressed in a, b, c, r.
(2) I don't know what kind of expression in number 2
(3) find length of AB, BC, CA, when a = 75 degrees, b = 60, c = 45, r = 1. without trigonometric function

 

[Helly123]

Arc-length is $l = r \theta$.

can you give me more clue...

 

[Buffu]

can you give me more clue...

Can you express arclengths in terms of $a,b,c ,r$ ?

 

[Helly123]

Can you express arclengths in terms of $a,b,c ,r$ ?

maybe like
AB / 2phi R = c / 360 degrees
AB = c/360 . 2 phi R

 

[Buffu]

maybe like
AB / 2phi R = c / 360 degrees
AB = c/360 . 2 phi R

No I did not get what you did. I guess finding arclengths confused you, can you find the angle subtended by each side at centre ?

Also in the question what $\bbox[5px,Border: 2px solid black]{2-2}$ mean ? what does that number mean ? I have never seen such a weird way to denote a unknown.

Maybe the way i draw the circle and triangle is wrong?

That's, the first time i saw it too...

" can you find the angle subtended by each side at centre ? " how to find that?

Find theta.

Ok thanks, I am using phone so i sent link. Usually i upload. (Cant upload through phone) btw sir, my answer is right? And the formula too?

Yes.

btw sir,

I'm no sir..just a guy like you, hanging out here!

Now you need to find the area of each small triangle AOC ...

 

[Helly123]

Yes.

I know that button. I tried before in another thread. But the image wouldn't show up

 

[Helly123]

Now you need to find the area of each small triangle AOC ...

Ok, for the area of AOC = 1/2 r.r.sin 2b
Area CAB = 1/2 r.r sin 2a
Area BCA = 1/2 r.r sin 2c
So the entire triangle is 1/2. r^2 ( sin 2a + sin 2b + sin 2c)

3) ... AB = 90degrees.1cm ?
BC = 150 degrees.1cm?
AC = 120 degrees.1cm

AC = 120 degrees.1cm

2 is correct.

In three the angles should be in radians.

 

[Helly123]

AC = 2/3 phi rad
BC = 5/6 phi rad
AB = 1/2 phi rad

The key answer is root 2, (root 6 + root 2)/2 , root 3

 

[Helly123]

Why my answer not match the key answer? :(

The question wants length of sides of the triangle not the length of the arcs which you calculated.

 

[Hendrik Boom]

The boxes with 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, etc in them seem to number the subquestions. Kind of where you would fill in the answers to question 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, etc. Except you probably have to fill them in on a separate answer sheet.

I think so...

Find theta.

Sir, i want to know how to find arc AB BC CA if the triangle like what I draw...

It is same process.
Where are you stuck ?

 

[Helly123]

I meant, totally everything stuck..
what's the correlation of let's say angle ABC to R, since ABC not on the same center as circle center?
and L = tetha . R cannot be applied anymore. since the R not in the triangle.

Ok first try with angle subtended on the centre by the line AB.

Also $l = r\theta$ is applicable here since it does not matter whether it is in te triangle or not. It is true by the definition of angle in radians.

I think what you are confused with is the fact that if angle b is half the angle subtended at the centre by the line AB or not. It is also true.

the angle substended by line AB is the c angle?

And even though the triangle is like what i have, the tetha substended by line AB twice angle c,

if I draw tetha in my triangle like this, and want to find arc AC, but ended up finding arc AX

if I draw this, the length AX and CX no longer R... because the center not in X point

how is it?

Yes sorry it is angle c.

Your figure should be like this :-
