The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the triangle ABC with given conditions and find the ratio \( \frac{AT}{DC} \). ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry In triangle ABC, we know that: - \( \angle A = 30^\circ \) - H is the orthocenter of triangle ABC. - D is the midpoint of segment BC. - Segment HD is extended to point T such that \( HD = DT \). ### Step 2: Position Vectors Let: - \( \vec{A} \) be the position vector of point A. - \( \vec{B} \) be the position vector of point B. - \( \vec{C} \) be the position vector of point C. - \( \vec{D} \) be the position vector of point D, which is the midpoint of BC: \[ \vec{D} = \frac{\vec{B} + \vec{C}}{2} \] ### Step 3: Position Vector of H The position vector of the orthocenter H can be expressed as: \[ \vec{H} = \vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{C} - \vec{O} \] where O is the circumcenter. However, we can also express it in terms of the circumradius \( R \) and the angles of the triangle. ### Step 4: Finding T Since \( HD = DT \), we can express the position vector of T as: \[ \vec{T} = \vec{H} + (\vec{D} - \vec{H}) = 2\vec{D} - \vec{H} \] ### Step 5: Calculate Lengths We need to find the lengths \( AT \) and \( DC \): 1. **Length \( AT \)**: - Using the properties of the circumradius and the sine rule: \[ BC = 2R \sin A = 2R \sin 30^\circ = R \] - Since \( AT \) is twice the length of \( DC \) (because D is the midpoint), we have: \[ AT = 2 \cdot DC \] 2. **Length \( DC \)**: - Since D is the midpoint of BC, we can say: \[ DC = \frac{BC}{2} = \frac{R}{2} \] ### Step 6: Ratio Calculation Now we can find the ratio: \[ \frac{AT}{DC} = \frac{2 \cdot DC}{DC} = \frac{2 \cdot \frac{R}{2}}{\frac{R}{2}} = 2 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the ratio \( \frac{AT}{DC} \) is: \[ \frac{AT}{DC} = 2 \]
