Let 5 , a 4 , be the circumcenter of a triangle with vertices A ( a , - 2 ) , B ( a , 6 ) and C a 4 , - 2 .…

Let 5,a4, be the circumcenter of a triangle with vertices A(a,-2), B(a, 6) and Ca4,-2. Let α denote the circumradius, β denote the area and γ denote the perimeter of the triangle. Then α+β+γ is
  1. 60
  2. 53
  3. 62
  4. 30

Solution

Given: Aa,-2, Ba,6 and Ca4,-2

AB2=a-a2+6+22

AB2=64   ...i

BC2=a-a42+6+22

BC2=9a216+64   ...ii

AC2=a-a42+-2+22

AC2=9a216   ...iii

Using i, ii and iii,

AC2+AB2=BC2

So, ABC is right angled at A.

So, circumcentre will be mid-point of BC.

Sa+a42,6-22

S5a8,2=5,a4

a=8

BC=9×6416+64

BC=100=10

AB=8

AC=9×6416

AC=6

Now, circumradius is given by,

R=BC2=5α=5

Now, area of triangle will be β=12×6×8=24 and perimeter will be γ=6+8+10=24

α=5, β=24, γ=24

α+β+γ=53
