The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem step by step, we will use the information provided about the triangle: one angle is 60°, the area is \(10\sqrt{3}\), and the perimeter is 20 cm. We will also denote the sides opposite to angles A, B, and C as a, b, and c respectively, where \(a > b > c\). ### Step 1: Identify the given information - Angle A = 60° - Area of triangle = \(10\sqrt{3}\) - Perimeter = 20 cm - \(a > b > c\) ### Step 2: Calculate the semi-perimeter (s) The semi-perimeter \(s\) is given by: \[ s = \frac{P}{2} = \frac{20}{2} = 10 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 3: Use the formula for the area of a triangle The area \(A\) of a triangle can also be expressed using the formula: \[ A = \frac{1}{2}ab\sin(C) \] For our triangle, we have: \[ A = \frac{1}{2}bc\sin(60°) = \frac{1}{2}bc\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}bc \] Setting this equal to the given area: \[ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}bc = 10\sqrt{3} \] Dividing both sides by \(\sqrt{3}\): \[ \frac{1}{4}bc = 10 \] Multiplying by 4: \[ bc = 40 \] ### Step 4: Set up the equations for sides a, b, and c From the perimeter, we know: \[ a + b + c = 20 \] We also have: \[ b + c = 20 - a \] Substituting \(bc = 40\) into the quadratic equation: Let \(b\) and \(c\) be the roots of the equation \(x^2 - (b+c)x + bc = 0\): \[ x^2 - (20 - a)x + 40 = 0 \] ### Step 5: Solve the quadratic equation The quadratic equation can be solved using the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{-(20 - a) \pm \sqrt{(20 - a)^2 - 4 \cdot 40}}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = \frac{(20 - a) \pm \sqrt{(20 - a)^2 - 160}}{2} \] ### Step 6: Find the values of a, b, and c We know \(a + b + c = 20\) and \(bc = 40\). Let's substitute \(b + c = 20 - a\) into the quadratic equation: \[ x^2 - (20 - a)x + 40 = 0 \] We can find the discriminant: \[ D = (20 - a)^2 - 160 \] For \(b\) and \(c\) to be real numbers, \(D\) must be non-negative: \[ (20 - a)^2 \geq 160 \] Solving this inequality will give us the possible values for \(a\). ### Step 7: Calculate the sides Assuming \(a\) is the largest side, we can test values for \(a\) to find \(b\) and \(c\). 1. If \(a = 8\): \[ b + c = 20 - 8 = 12 \] \[ bc = 40 \] The quadratic becomes: \[ x^2 - 12x + 40 = 0 \] The discriminant: \[ D = 12^2 - 4 \cdot 40 = 144 - 160 = -16 \quad \text{(not valid)} \] 2. If \(a = 7\): \[ b + c = 20 - 7 = 13 \] \[ bc = 40 \] The quadratic becomes: \[ x^2 - 13x + 40 = 0 \] The discriminant: \[ D = 13^2 - 4 \cdot 40 = 169 - 160 = 9 \quad \text{(valid)} \] Thus, \(b\) and \(c\) can be calculated as: \[ x = \frac{13 \pm 3}{2} \Rightarrow x = 8 \text{ or } 5 \] So, \(b = 8\) and \(c = 5\). ### Step 8: Conclusion The sides of the triangle are: - \(a = 7\) - \(b = 8\) - \(c = 5\) ### Final Verification - \(a + b + c = 7 + 8 + 5 = 20\) (correct) - \(bc = 40\) (correct) - Area calculation confirms \(10\sqrt{3}\).
