The correct Answer is:
To find the area of triangle \( ABC \) where \( C \) is the right angle, and the inscribed circle touches side \( AB \) at point \( D \) with the condition \( AD \cdot BD = 11 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the segments Let: - \( AD = z \) - \( BD = y \) - \( CD = x \) Since \( D \) is the point where the incircle touches \( AB \), we can express the sides of triangle \( ABC \) in terms of \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \): - \( AB = AD + BD = z + y \) - \( AC = AD + CD = z + x \) - \( BC = BD + CD = y + x \) ### Step 2: Use the given condition We know from the problem that: \[ AD \cdot BD = z \cdot y = 11 \] ### Step 3: Apply the Pythagorean theorem Since triangle \( ABC \) is a right triangle at \( C \), we can apply the Pythagorean theorem: \[ AC^2 + BC^2 = AB^2 \] Substituting the expressions we defined: \[ (z + x)^2 + (y + x)^2 = (z + y)^2 \] ### Step 4: Expand the equation Expanding both sides: \[ (z^2 + 2zx + x^2) + (y^2 + 2xy + x^2) = (z^2 + 2zy + y^2) \] Combining like terms: \[ z^2 + y^2 + 2zx + 2xy + 2x^2 = z^2 + y^2 + 2zy \] ### Step 5: Simplify the equation Cancelling \( z^2 \) and \( y^2 \) from both sides: \[ 2zx + 2xy + 2x^2 = 2zy \] Dividing through by 2: \[ zx + xy + x^2 = zy \] ### Step 6: Substitute \( zy \) with 11 Since \( zy = 11 \), we can substitute this into our equation: \[ zx + xy + x^2 = 11 \] ### Step 7: Rearranging for area The area \( A \) of triangle \( ABC \) can be expressed as: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times AC \times BC = \frac{1}{2} \times (z + x) \times (y + x) \] Expanding this gives: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times (zy + zx + xy + x^2) \] Substituting \( zy = 11 \): \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times (11 + zx + xy + x^2) \] ### Step 8: Use the equation from step 6 From the equation \( zx + xy + x^2 = 11 \): \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times (11 + 11) = \frac{1}{2} \times 22 = 11 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the area of triangle \( ABC \) is: \[ \boxed{11} \]
