JEE Main 2022 (Online) 27th June Morning Shift Mathematics - Properties of Triangle Question 13 English Explanation

CD=(10+x2)2−(10−x2)2=210∣x∣CD = \sqrt {{{(10 + {x^2})}^2} - {{(10 - {x^2})}^2}} = 2\sqrt {10} |x|

Area =12×CD×AB=12×210∣x∣(20−2x2)= {1 \over 2} \times CD \times AB = {1 \over 2} \times 2\sqrt {10} |x|(20 - 2{x^2})

A=10∣x∣(10−x2)A = \sqrt {10} |x|(10 - {x^2})

dAdx=10∣x∣x(10−x2)+10∣x∣(−2x)=0{{dA} \over {dx}} = \sqrt {10} {{|x|} \over x}(10 - {x^2}) + \sqrt {10} |x|( - 2x) = 0

⇒10−x2=2x2\Rightarrow 10 - {x^2} = 2{x^2}

3x2=103{x^2} = 10

x=kx = k

3k2=103{k^2} = 10
