ABC is a triangle ∠B = 60°, ∠C = 45°, BC is produced to / extended till D so that ∠ADB = 30°, then given 3 = 911 and BC × CD = 34 × 23 × 1119, what will be the square of the altitude from A to BC?
Explanation:
AE is altitude from A on BC. ∠AEC = 90° It is given,
∠ABC = 60°, ∠ACB = 45°
In triangle ABE, AE = 3x As ∠EAC = ∠ECA , EC = 3x In triangle AED, ∠EAD = 60° Therefore, CD = 3x - 3x It is given,
BC ∙ CD = 34.23.1119
x = (3 + 1)3(3 - 1)x = 34.23.1119
x = 34.23.1119
AE = 9*2 = 18 AE2 = 324 Answer is option B.
