JEE Main 2017 (Online) 9th April Morning Slot Mathematics - Circle Question 130 English Explanation

Here; cos θ\theta  =  a2+b2−c22ab{{{a^2} + {b^2} - {c^2}} \over {2ab}}

and   θ\theta = 60o

⇒\Rightarrow    cos 60o = 4+25−c22.2.5{{4 + 25 - {c^2}} \over {2.2.5}}

⇒\Rightarrow     10 = 29 −- c2

⇒\Rightarrow    c2 = 19

⇒\Rightarrow    c = 19\sqrt {19}

also;  cos θ\theta = a2+b2−c22ab{{{a^2} + {b^2} - {c^2}} \over {2ab}}

and θ\theta = 120o

⇒\Rightarrow     −- 12{1 \over 2} = a2+b2−192ab{{{a^2} + {b^2} - 19} \over {2ab}}

⇒\Rightarrow    a2 + b2 −- 19 = −- ab

⇒\Rightarrow    a2 + b2 + ab = 19

∴\therefore    Area = 12×2×5{1 \over 2} \times 2 \times 5 sin 60 + 12{1 \over 2} ab sin 120o = 4 3\sqrt 3

⇒\Rightarrow     532+ab34{{5\sqrt 3 } \over 2} + {{ab\sqrt 3 } \over 4} = 434\sqrt 3

⇒\Rightarrow     ab4{{ab} \over 4} = 4 −- 52{5 \over 2} = 32{3 \over 2}

⇒\Rightarrow     ab = 6

∴\therefore    a2 + b2 = 13

⇒\Rightarrow    a = 2, b = 3

Perimeter = Sum of all sides

= 2 + 5 + 2 + 3 = 12
