The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the instructions given in the video transcript and derive the necessary equations and coordinates. ### Step 1: Find the Equation of Circle C Given that the radius of circle C is 1 and the center C is at coordinates \((\sqrt{3}, 1)\), the equation of the circle can be expressed using the standard form: \[ (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 \] where \((h, k)\) is the center and \(r\) is the radius. Substituting the values: \[ (x - \sqrt{3})^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 1^2 \] Thus, the equation of circle C is: \[ (x - \sqrt{3})^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 1 \] ### Step 2: Find Points E and F The points of contact D, E, and F are where the circle touches the sides of the triangle. 1. **Point D** is given as \(\left(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{3}{2}\right)\). 2. **Point F** lies on the side RP. Since the radius is 1 and the y-coordinate of point D is \(\frac{3}{2}\), the y-coordinate of F will be \(0\) (as it is on the x-axis). Thus, the coordinates of F can be determined as follows: The x-coordinate of F will be the same as D, hence: \[ F = \left(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}, 0\right) \] 3. **Point E** lies on the side QR. The distance from C to E is also 1. Since the angle at C is 30 degrees, we can find E's coordinates using trigonometric relations: The x-coordinate of E will be: \[ E_x = \sqrt{3} + 1 \cdot \cos(30^\circ) = \sqrt{3} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} \] The y-coordinate of E will be: \[ E_y = 1 + 1 \cdot \sin(30^\circ) = 1 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \] Thus, the coordinates of E are: \[ E = \left(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{3}{2}\right) \] ### Step 3: Find the Equations of Sides QR and RP 1. **Equation of Side QR**: Using point E \(\left(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{3}{2}\right)\) and the slope of the line QR (which is \( \sqrt{3} \)), we can write the equation of the line in point-slope form: \[ y - \frac{3}{2} = \sqrt{3}\left(x - \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \] Simplifying this gives: \[ y = \sqrt{3}x - \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Thus, the equation of QR is: \[ y = \sqrt{3}x \] 2. **Equation of Side RP**: The line RP is horizontal (parallel to the x-axis), so its equation is simply: \[ y = 0 \] ### Final Answers 1. The equation of circle C is: \[ (x - \sqrt{3})^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 1 \] 2. The coordinates of points E and F are: \[ E = \left(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{3}{2}\right), \quad F = \left(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}, 0\right) \] 3. The equations of the sides QR and RP are: \[ y = \sqrt{3}x, \quad y = 0 \]
