The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum area of triangle ABC given the lengths of medians BE and CF, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - Length of median BE = 12 - Length of median CF = 9 2. **Draw the Triangle and Medians:** - Draw triangle ABC and label the vertices A, B, and C. - Draw the medians BE and CF, where E is the midpoint of AC and F is the midpoint of AB. 3. **Locate the Centroid:** - Let G be the centroid of triangle ABC. The centroid divides each median in the ratio 2:1. 4. **Calculate the Lengths from the Centroid:** - For median BE: \[ BG = \frac{2}{3} \times BE = \frac{2}{3} \times 12 = 8 \] - For median CF: \[ CG = \frac{2}{3} \times CF = \frac{2}{3} \times 9 = 6 \] 5. **Calculate the Area of Triangle BGC:** - The area of triangle BGC can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area}_{BCG} = \frac{1}{2} \times BG \times CG \times \sin(\theta) \] - Substituting the values: \[ \text{Area}_{BCG} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 6 \times \sin(\theta) = 24 \sin(\theta) \] 6. **Calculate the Area of Triangle ABC:** - The area of triangle ABC is three times the area of triangle BGC: \[ \text{Area}_{ABC} = 3 \times \text{Area}_{BCG} = 3 \times 24 \sin(\theta) = 72 \sin(\theta) \] 7. **Find the Maximum Area:** - The maximum value of \(\sin(\theta)\) is 1. Therefore, to find the maximum area: \[ \text{Maximum Area}_{ABC} = 72 \times 1 = 72 \text{ square units} \] ### Final Answer: The maximum area of triangle ABC is **72 square units**. ---
