The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the distance between the circumcenter and the orthocenter of the triangle with vertices at \( A(0,0) \), \( B(6,8) \), and \( C(-4,3) \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Calculate the lengths of the sides of the triangle:** - Length \( AB \): \[ AB = \sqrt{(6 - 0)^2 + (8 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10 \] - Length \( BC \): \[ BC = \sqrt{(6 - (-4))^2 + (8 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(6 + 4)^2 + (8 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{10^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{100 + 25} = \sqrt{125} = 5\sqrt{5} \] - Length \( AC \): \[ AC = \sqrt{(0 - (-4))^2 + (0 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(0 + 4)^2 + (0 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \] 2. **Determine if the triangle is a right triangle:** - Check if \( BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2 \): \[ (5\sqrt{5})^2 = (10)^2 + (5)^2 \implies 125 = 100 + 25 \implies 125 = 125 \] - Therefore, triangle \( ABC \) is a right triangle with \( C \) as the right angle. 3. **Find the circumcenter:** - The circumcenter of a right triangle is the midpoint of the hypotenuse \( BC \): \[ \text{Midpoint of } BC = \left( \frac{6 + (-4)}{2}, \frac{8 + 3}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{2}{2}, \frac{11}{2} \right) = (1, \frac{11}{2}) \] 4. **Find the orthocenter:** - The orthocenter of a right triangle is the vertex at the right angle, which is point \( A(0,0) \). 5. **Calculate the distance between the circumcenter and the orthocenter:** - Distance \( L \) between points \( (1, \frac{11}{2}) \) and \( (0, 0) \): \[ L = \sqrt{(1 - 0)^2 + \left(\frac{11}{2} - 0\right)^2} = \sqrt{1^2 + \left(\frac{11}{2}\right)^2} = \sqrt{1 + \frac{121}{4}} = \sqrt{\frac{4 + 121}{4}} = \sqrt{\frac{125}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{125}}{2} = \frac{5\sqrt{5}}{2} \] 6. **Calculate the value of \( \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} L \):** - Substitute \( L \): \[ \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} L = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} \cdot \frac{5\sqrt{5}}{2} = 5 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} L \) is \( 5 \). ---
