The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the possible number of points for point C in triangle ABC, given that A = (1, 2), B = (5, 5), and angle ACB = 90°. The area of triangle ABC is given as 6.5 square units. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Points A and B**: - A = (1, 2) - B = (5, 5) 2. **Calculate the Length of AB**: - Use the distance formula: \[ AB = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \] - Substituting the coordinates: \[ AB = \sqrt{(5 - 1)^2 + (5 - 2)^2} = \sqrt{(4)^2 + (3)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \] 3. **Determine the Circumcircle**: - Since angle ACB is 90°, point C must lie on the circumcircle of triangle ABC, where AB is the diameter. - The radius of the circumcircle is half of AB: \[ \text{Radius} = \frac{AB}{2} = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5 \] 4. **Area of Triangle Formula**: - The area of triangle ABC can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \] - Here, we can consider AB as the base and the height from point C to line AB. 5. **Set Up the Area Equation**: - Given that the area is 6.5 square units, we can set up the equation: \[ 6.5 = \frac{1}{2} \times AB \times h \] - Substituting AB = 5: \[ 6.5 = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times h \implies 6.5 = \frac{5h}{2} \implies 13 = 5h \implies h = \frac{13}{5} = 2.6 \] 6. **Compare Height with Radius**: - The height (h) from point C to line AB must be equal to the radius of the circumcircle for point C to lie on the circle. - The radius is 2.5, but we found h = 2.6, which is greater than the radius. 7. **Conclusion**: - Since the height (2.6) is greater than the radius (2.5), point C cannot lie on the circumcircle of triangle ABC while satisfying the area condition. - Therefore, there are **zero possible points for C**. ### Final Answer: The possible number of points for C is **0**.
