Question:

Let A(α, -2), B(α, 6) and C(\(\frac{\alpha}{4}\), -2) be vertices of a ΔABC. If (5, \(\frac{\alpha}{4}\)) is the circumcentre of ΔABC, then which of the following is NOT correct about ΔABC?

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Circumcentre of ΔABC
=(\(\alpha+\frac{\frac{\alpha}{4}}{2}\),\(\frac{6-2}{2}\))
=(\(\frac{5\alpha}{8}\), 2)
=(5,\(\frac{\alpha}{4}\))
⇒α=8
Area (ΔABC)=\(\frac{1}{2}\)⋅3α4×8=24 sq. units
Perimeter =8+\(\frac{3\alpha}{4}\)+\(\sqrt{82}\)+(\(\frac{3\alpha}{4}^2\))
=8+6+10=24
Circumradius=\(\frac{10}{2}\)=5
r=\(\frac{\Delta}{s}\)
r=\(\frac{24}{12}\)
r=2
So, the correct option is (B): Perimeter is 25.

Concepts Used:

Horizontal and vertical lines

Horizontal Lines:

  • A horizontal line is a sleeping line that means "side-to-side".
  • These are the lines drawn from left to right or right to left and are parallel to the x-axis.

Equation of the horizontal line:

In all cases, horizontal lines remain parallel to the x-axis. It never intersects the x-axis but only intersects the y-axis. The value of x can change, but y always tends to be constant for horizontal lines.

Vertical Lines:

  • A vertical line is a standing line that means "up-to-down".
  • These are the lines drawn up and down and are parallel to the y-axis.

Equation of vertical Lines:

The equation for the vertical line is represented as x=a,

Here, ‘a’ is the point where this line intersects the x-axis.

x is the respective coordinates of any point lying on the line, this represents that the equation is not dependent on y. 

Horizontal lines and vertical lines are perpendicular to each other.
