In a ∆ A B C , medians, A D and B E are drawn. If A D = 4 , ∠ D A B = π 6   a n d…

In a ABC, medians, AD and BE are drawn. If AD=4, DAB=π6 and ABE=π3, then the area of the ABC is
  1. 83 sq. units
  2. 163 sq. units
  3. 3233 sq. units
  4. 643 sq. units

Solution

Since, the centroid G divide the line AD in the ratio 2:1

∴   AG=83 and DG=43
Here, ABG is a right triangle, since AGB is π2

In ABGtan π3=AGBG

⇒    BG=AG cot π3

⇒    BG=83×13=833

Area of ADB=12×AD×BG

=12×4×833=1633

Since, median divides a triangle into two triangles of equal area.

Therefore, area of ABC=2×area of ADB

=2×1633=3233 sq units
