P is a point inside a triangle ABC and its distance from three vertices A,B,C are 6,8,11 respectively.What could be perimeter of the triangle?
Read Solution (Total 8)
-
- if x,y,z are the sides of triangle then
using,
a + b > c in 3 triangles
x < (6+8)
y < (8+11)
z < (11+6)
adding
=> (x+y+z) < 50
perimeter of the triangle will be just less than 50 .

- take a point P inside the triangle.u will get three triangles.draw perpendicular through P on their respective side..and apply Pythagoras
on AB after perpendicular devides it into x nd y
u will get
6^2=P^2+X^2
8^2=P^2+Y^2
by solving u will get X+y=14
lly u will get other sides.17 na 19
so perimeter=14+17+19=50

- let the three sides be x, y, z
x < 6 + 8, i.e., x < 14 ... eq 1
y < 6 + 11, i.e., y < 17 ... eq 2
z < 8 + 11, i.e., z < 19 ... eq 3
Adding the equations eq1, eq2, eq3 :
x + y + z = Perimeter of triangle < 50
check options and mark the answer below 50 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)
- but how did u get x+y=14 ?? from that two eqns.
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- when u got triangles,APB
1.draw perpen from p to AB
2.apply Pythagoras theorem
3.solve equation interms of X^2-Y^2.....i.e X+Y nd X-Y
4.u will eaisly get X+y - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(5)
- here formula used are a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2*a*c here a is unknown side
so AB= (64+121-176)^(1/2)=3
BC= (64+36-96)^(1/2)=2
CA= (121+36-132)^(1/2)=5
hence perimeter is 3+2+5=10 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(9)
- perimeter

- join PA,PB,PC
Simple by rule of triangle in triangles PAB,PAC,PBC
PA+PB>AB
PB+PC>BC
PA+PC>AC
Now it’s given PA=6, PB=8, PC=11
So, 14>AB , 19>BC, 17>AC
Adding the three we get:
14+19+17>AB+BC+AC
=>50>AB+BC+CA
