The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the perimeter of triangle \( OCS_1 \) given the radius of the incircle and the distance from the center to one of the foci. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values**: - The radius of the incircle \( r = 1 \) unit. - The distance from the center \( O \) to the focus \( S_1 \) is \( OS_1 = 6 \) units. 2. **Use the Formula for the Area of Triangle**: The area \( A \) of triangle \( OCS_1 \) can be expressed in terms of its perimeter \( P \) and the radius of the incircle \( r \): \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times P \times r \] 3. **Express the Perimeter**: Let \( OC = b \) (the semi-minor axis), \( OS_1 = 6 \), and \( S_1C \) be the length we need to find. The perimeter \( P \) can be expressed as: \[ P = OC + OS_1 + S_1C = b + 6 + S_1C \] 4. **Calculate the Length \( S_1C \)**: Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find \( S_1C \): \[ S_1C = \sqrt{OS_1^2 - OC^2} = \sqrt{6^2 - b^2} = \sqrt{36 - b^2} \] 5. **Substitute into the Area Formula**: Now substituting \( P \) into the area formula: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times (b + 6 + \sqrt{36 - b^2}) \times 1 \] Thus, \[ A = \frac{1}{2} (b + 6 + \sqrt{36 - b^2}) \] 6. **Find the Area in Terms of \( b \)**: The area can also be expressed using the base and height. The height from \( O \) to line \( CS_1 \) is \( OC = b \), so: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times OC \times OS_1 = \frac{1}{2} \times b \times 6 = 3b \] 7. **Set the Two Area Expressions Equal**: Equating the two expressions for area: \[ 3b = \frac{1}{2} (b + 6 + \sqrt{36 - b^2}) \] Multiply through by 2 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 6b = b + 6 + \sqrt{36 - b^2} \] Rearranging gives: \[ 5b - 6 = \sqrt{36 - b^2} \] 8. **Square Both Sides**: Squaring both sides: \[ (5b - 6)^2 = 36 - b^2 \] Expanding the left side: \[ 25b^2 - 60b + 36 = 36 - b^2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 26b^2 - 60b = 0 \] Factoring out \( b \): \[ b(26b - 60) = 0 \] Thus, \( b = 0 \) or \( b = \frac{60}{26} = \frac{30}{13} \). 9. **Calculate \( S_1C \)**: Using \( b = \frac{30}{13} \): \[ S_1C = \sqrt{36 - \left(\frac{30}{13}\right)^2} = \sqrt{36 - \frac{900}{169}} = \sqrt{\frac{6084 - 900}{169}} = \sqrt{\frac{5184}{169}} = \frac{72}{13} \] 10. **Calculate the Perimeter**: Now substituting back to find the perimeter: \[ P = OC + OS_1 + S_1C = \frac{30}{13} + 6 + \frac{72}{13} = \frac{30 + 78 + 78}{13} = \frac{186}{13} = 15 \] ### Final Answer: The perimeter of triangle \( OCS_1 \) is \( 15 \) units.
