A triangle has a 60 degree angle, and the two adjacent sides are 12 and 12 times the square root of 3. Find the radius of a circle with the same vertex as a center, if the arc inside the triangle divides it into two regions of equal area.

Please somebody ?

Correct answer gets BRAINLIEST !

Respuesta :

The radius of the circle is a line from the center of the circle to its circumference

The radius of the circle with the same vertex as a center is 10.16 units

How to determine the radius

From the question, we understand that:

  • The adjacent sides of the triangle are 12 and [tex]12\sqrt 3[/tex]
  • The triangle has an angle of 60 degrees

Start by calculating the area of the triangle using:

[tex]Area = 0.5ab\sin C[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Area = 0.5 * 12 * 12\sqrt 3 *\sin (60)[/tex]

This gives

[tex]Area = 0.5 * 12 * 12\sqrt 3 * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Area = 108[/tex]

The arc divides the triangle into two equal regions.

So, the area of the arc is:

[tex]Arc = 0.5 * Area = 0.5 * 108[/tex]

[tex]Arc = 54[/tex]

Also, the area of the arc is:

[tex]Arc = \frac{\theta}{360} * \pi r^2[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Arc = \frac{60}{360} *3.14 * r^2[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]Arc = 0.523 * r^2[/tex]

This gives

[tex]0.523 * r^2 = 54[/tex]

Divide both sides by 0.523

[tex]r^2 = 103.25[/tex]

Take the square roots of  both sides

[tex]r = 10.16[/tex]

Hence, the radius of the circle with the same vertex as a center is 10.16 units
