The correct Answer is:
To find the area of triangle ABC given the medians AD and BE, we can follow the steps below: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a triangle ABC with medians AD and BE. We know the following: - Length of median AD = 4 - Angle DAB = π/6 - Angle ABE = π/3 ### Step 2: Draw the Triangle Draw triangle ABC and mark the points: - A, B, C as the vertices of the triangle. - D is the midpoint of BC (since AD is a median). - E is the midpoint of AC (since BE is a median). ### Step 3: Identify Key Points Since AD is a median, it divides BC into two equal parts: - Let BD = DC = x (where x is half the length of BC). ### Step 4: Use the Centroid The centroid O of triangle ABC divides median AD in the ratio 2:1. - AO = (2/3) * AD = (2/3) * 4 = 8/3 - OD = (1/3) * AD = (1/3) * 4 = 4/3 ### Step 5: Use Trigonometry in Triangle ABO In triangle AOB, we can use the tangent of angle ABE: - tan(π/3) = AO / BO - We know tan(π/3) = √3, so: - √3 = (8/3) / BO - BO = (8/3) / √3 = (8/3) * (1/√3) = 8/(3√3) ### Step 6: Calculate Area of Triangle ADB The area of triangle ADB can be calculated using the formula: - Area = (1/2) * base * height - Here, base = AD = 4 and height = BO = 8/(3√3): - Area of triangle ADB = (1/2) * 4 * (8/(3√3)) - Area = 2 * (8/(3√3)) = 16/(3√3) ### Step 7: Calculate Area of Triangle ABC Since median AD divides triangle ABC into two equal areas: - Area of triangle ABC = 2 * Area of triangle ADB - Area of triangle ABC = 2 * (16/(3√3)) = 32/(3√3) ### Final Answer The area of triangle ABC is \( \frac{32}{3\sqrt{3}} \). ---
