B

`(3 sqrt3(sqrt3-1))/(pi^(2))` sq unit

C

`(9 sqrt3(1+sqrt3))/(2pi^(2))`sq unit

D

`(9 sqrt3(sqrt3-1))/(2pi^(2))` sq unit

The correct Answer is:
To find the area of the triangle inscribed in a circle with arc lengths of 3, 4, and 5 units, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Circumference of the Circle The total circumference \( C \) of the circle can be calculated by adding the lengths of the arcs: \[ C = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 \text{ units} \] ### Step 2: Find the Radius of the Circle Using the formula for the circumference of a circle \( C = 2\pi R \), we can solve for the radius \( R \): \[ 2\pi R = 12 \implies R = \frac{12}{2\pi} = \frac{6}{\pi} \] ### Step 3: Determine the Angles of the Triangle The angles at the center of the circle corresponding to each arc can be calculated using the formula \( \theta = \frac{s}{R} \), where \( s \) is the arc length. - For arc of length 3: \[ \theta_A = \frac{3}{R} = \frac{3}{\frac{6}{\pi}} = \frac{3\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{2} \text{ radians} \] - For arc of length 4: \[ \theta_B = \frac{4}{R} = \frac{4}{\frac{6}{\pi}} = \frac{4\pi}{6} = \frac{2\pi}{3} \text{ radians} \] - For arc of length 5: \[ \theta_C = \frac{5}{R} = \frac{5}{\frac{6}{\pi}} = \frac{5\pi}{6} \text{ radians} \] ### Step 4: Convert Angles to Degrees To find the sine values, we convert the angles from radians to degrees: - \( \theta_A = 90^\circ \) - \( \theta_B = 120^\circ \) - \( \theta_C = 150^\circ \) ### Step 5: Calculate the Area of the Triangle The area \( \Delta \) of the triangle can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Delta = \frac{1}{2} R^2 (\sin A + \sin B + \sin C) \] Where: - \( A = 90^\circ \) - \( B = 120^\circ \) - \( C = 150^\circ \) Calculating the sine values: - \( \sin(90^\circ) = 1 \) - \( \sin(120^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) - \( \sin(150^\circ) = \frac{1}{2} \) Substituting these values into the area formula: \[ \Delta = \frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{6}{\pi}\right)^2 \left(1 + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\right) \] \[ = \frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{36}{\pi^2}\right) \left(1 + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\right) \] \[ = \frac{18}{\pi^2} \left(2 + \sqrt{3}\right) \] ### Final Answer Thus, the area of the triangle is: \[ \Delta = \frac{18(2 + \sqrt{3})}{\pi^2} \]
