The correct Answer is:
To find the remaining two sides of the cyclic quadrilateral given the two adjacent sides (2 and 5) and the angle between them (60°), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD where: - AB = 2 - BC = 5 - ∠ABC = 60° ### Step 2: Calculate the Area of Triangle ABC The area of triangle ABC can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times AB \times BC \times \sin(\angle ABC) \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 5 \times \sin(60^\circ) \] Since \(\sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\): \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 5 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Step 3: Total Area of Quadrilateral ABCD The total area of the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD is given as \(4\sqrt{3}\). Therefore, the area of triangle ACD must be: \[ \text{Area of ACD} = \text{Total Area} - \text{Area of ABC} \] \[ \text{Area of ACD} = 4\sqrt{3} - \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{2} \] To simplify, convert \(4\sqrt{3}\) into a fraction: \[ 4\sqrt{3} = \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Thus, \[ \text{Area of ACD} = \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Step 4: Use the Area of Triangle ACD Let the remaining sides be AC = x and AD = y. The area of triangle ACD can also be expressed as: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times AC \times AD \times \sin(\angle ACD) \] Since angle ACD = 120° (as opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral sum to 180°): \[ \sin(120^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Thus, \[ \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times x \times y \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Multiplying both sides by 4: \[ 6\sqrt{3} = x \times y \times \sqrt{3} \] Dividing by \(\sqrt{3}\): \[ 6 = x \times y \] ### Step 5: Use the Cosine Rule Now, we can apply the cosine rule in triangle ABC to find the length of AC: \[ AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2 - 2 \cdot AB \cdot BC \cdot \cos(60^\circ) \] Substituting the known values: \[ AC^2 = 2^2 + 5^2 - 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 5 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \] Calculating: \[ AC^2 = 4 + 25 - 10 = 19 \] Thus, \[ AC = \sqrt{19} \] ### Step 6: Find the Remaining Side AD Now we have: \[ x = AC = \sqrt{19} \] Using the equation \(x \cdot y = 6\): \[ \sqrt{19} \cdot y = 6 \implies y = \frac{6}{\sqrt{19}} = \frac{6\sqrt{19}}{19} \] ### Final Result The remaining two sides of the cyclic quadrilateral are: - AC = \(\sqrt{19}\) - AD = \(\frac{6\sqrt{19}}{19}\)
