In a triangle Δ\Delta XYZXYZ , let x,y,zx, y, z be the lengths of sides opposite to the angles X,Y,ZX, Y, Z respectively, and 2s=x+y+z2s = x + y + z .
If s−x4=s−y3=s−z2{{s - x} \over 4} = {{s - y} \over 3} = {{s - z} \over 2} and area of incircle of the triangle XYZXYZ is 8π3{{8\pi } \over 3} , then

Multiple Choice Options

  • A area of the triangle XYZXYZ is 666\sqrt 6
  • B the radius of circumcircle of the triangle XYZXYZ is 3566{{35} \over 6}\sqrt 6
  • C sin⁡X2sin⁡Y2sin⁡Z2=435\sin {X \over 2}\sin {Y \over 2}\sin {Z \over 2} = {4 \over {35}}
  • D sin⁡2(X+Y2)=35{\sin ^2}\left( {{{X + Y} \over 2}} \right) = {3 \over 5}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

It is given that

2s=x+y+z2 s=x+y+z

Let us consider

s−x4=s−y3=s−z2=k\frac{s-x}{4}=\frac{s-y}{3}=\frac{s-z}{2}=k

That is, s=4k+xs=4 k+x

amp;s=3k+yamp;s=2k+zamp;3s=9k+(x+y+z)=9k+2samp;s=9kamp;x=9k−4k=5kamp;y=6k,z=7k\begin{aligned}&s =3 k+y \\\\&s =2 k+z \\\\&3 s =9 k+(x+y+z)=9 k+2 s \\\\&s =9 k \\\\&x =9 k-4 k=5 k \\\\&y =6 k, z=7 k\end{aligned}

amp;Therefore, π924k2=8π3amp;⇒k2=8π3×924π=1⇒k=1\begin{aligned}& \text {Therefore, } \frac{\pi}{9} 24 k^2=\frac{8 \pi}{3} \\\\& \Rightarrow \quad k^2=\frac{8 \pi}{3} \times \frac{9}{24 \pi}=1 \Rightarrow k=1\end{aligned}

The sides of the triangle is given by x=5,y=6,z=7x=5, y=6, z=7 . Now, the area of △XYZ\triangle X Y Z is

s(s−x)(s−y)(s−z)=9×4×3×2=66\sqrt{s(s-x)(s-y)(s-z)}=\sqrt{9 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2}=6 \sqrt{6}

Hence, option (A)(\mathrm{A}) is correct.

Now, R=xyz4Δ=5×6×74×66=3546R=\frac{x y z}{4 \Delta}=\frac{5 \times 6 \times 7}{4 \times 6 \sqrt{6}}=\frac{35}{4 \sqrt{6}}

amp;sin⁡X2sin⁡Y2sin⁡Z2amp;=[(s−y)(s−z)yz][(s−z)(s−z)xz][(s−y)(s−x)xy]amp;=(s−z)(s−y)(s−z)xyzamp;Now, (s−z)(s−y)(s−z)xyz=4×3×25×6×7=425\begin{aligned}& \sin \frac{X}{2} \sin \frac{Y}{2} \sin \frac{Z}{2} \\\\& \left.\quad=\sqrt{\left[\frac{(s-y)(s-z)}{y z}\right]\left[\frac{(s-z)(s-z)}{x z}\right]\left[\frac{(s-y)(s-x)}{x y}\right]}\right. \\\\& \quad=\frac{(s-z)(s-y)(s-z)}{x y z} \\\\& \text {Now, } \frac{(s-z)(s-y)(s-z)}{x y z}=\frac{4 \times 3 \times 2}{5 \times 6 \times 7}=\frac{4}{25}\end{aligned}

Hence, option (C) is correct.

Now, sin⁡2(X+Y2)=sin⁡2(π−Z2)=cos⁡2z2=s(s−z)xy\sin ^2\left(\frac{X+Y}{2}\right)=\sin ^2\left(\frac{\pi-Z}{2}\right)=\cos ^2 \frac{z}{2}=\frac{s(s-z)}{x y}

=9×25×6=35=\frac{9 \times 2}{5 \times 6}=\frac{3}{5}

Hence, option (D) is correct.
