The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \sin B \cdot \sin C \) given the equation of side \( BC \) and the coordinates of the circumcenter and orthocenter. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - The equation of side \( BC \) is \( 2x - y = 3 \). - The circumcenter \( P \) is at \( (2, 4) \). - The orthocenter \( O \) is at \( (1, 2) \). 2. **Find the Lengths \( OP \) and \( OD \):** - The distance \( OP \) can be calculated using the distance formula: \[ OP^2 = (2 - 1)^2 + (4 - 2)^2 = 1^2 + 2^2 = 1 + 4 = 5 \] - Thus, \( OP = \sqrt{5} \). 3. **Use the Relationship Between Circumradius and Angles:** - The relationship for circumradius \( R \) is given by: \[ OP^2 = R^2(1 - \cos A) \] - Since \( OP^2 = 5 \), we can express this as: \[ 5 = R^2(1 - \cos A) \] 4. **Express \( R \cos A \):** - From the circumradius formula, we have: \[ R \cos A = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} \] 5. **Find \( R \cos B \cos C \):** - The length \( OD \) can be expressed as: \[ OD = 2R \cos B \cos C \] - We need to find \( OD \) using the information given. 6. **Set Up the Equation for \( R \):** - We can express \( R \) in terms of the angles: \[ R \cos B \cos C = \frac{3}{\sqrt{5}} \] 7. **Relate \( R \) to \( \sin B \sin C \):** - We can express \( R \sin B \sin C \) using the sine rule: \[ R \sin B \sin C = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{5}} \] 8. **Calculate \( \sin B \sin C \):** - From the previous equations, we can substitute \( R \): \[ R = \frac{\sqrt{61}}{5} \] - Thus, substituting \( R \) into the equation for \( \sin B \sin C \): \[ \sin B \sin C = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{5}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{61}} = \frac{9}{2\sqrt{61}} \] 9. **Final Result:** - Therefore, the value of \( \sin B \sin C \) is: \[ \sin B \sin C = \frac{9}{2\sqrt{61}} \]
