Very good method. Excellent
Many many thanks❤️🙏
Excellent method for finding x, but once you have x, at 9 minutes, the height of your triangle is xsin60 = 3rt3/2, so area is 1/2x37x3rt3/2 = 111rt3/4.
Yes, drop a perpendicular from C to AB and label the intersection as point E. Triangle CDE is a special 30-60-90 right triangle with hypotenuse CD = x = 3. Length CE = (3√3)/2 and is the height of ABC, if AB = 37 is treated as the base. Area = (1/2)(37)((3√3)/2) = (111√3)/4, as PreMath also found.
Excellent!
Thanks for the feedback ❤️
Yes, I also did it this way. Although I had no clue for finding "x", things got much simpler afterward.
Draw a line from C perpendicular to AD intersecting it at E. Then /_CED = 90 degrees, /_CDE = 60 degrees and /_ECD = 30 degrees. If CE = h, then ED = h/sqrt(3) from properties of a 30-60-90 degree triangle. Let /_CBE = alpha, then /_BCE = (90 - alpha) and /_ACE = 150 -(90- alpha) = 60 + alpha and /_CAE = 90 - (60 + alpha) = 30 - alpha (sum of angles of triangle CAE is 180 degrees).
Next we use the sine rule on triangle CAE as follows:
Sin(60 + alpha)/AE = Sin(30 - alpha)/CE or
Sin(60 + alpha)/(7 - h/sqrt(3)) = Sin(30 - alpha)/h. ----(1)
Then we apply the sine rule to triangle CBE as follows
Sin(alpha)/CE = Sin(90 - alpha)/EB or
Sin(alpha)/h = Sin(90 -alpha)/(30+h/sqrt(3)) ---(2)
Next we expand the Sin angles and substitute the values for SIne and Cosine of angles 30, 60 and 90 degrees and end up with two equations for Tan(alpha) which we combine to get a quadratic equation for h: [h^2 + (201/(2*sqrt(3))*h - 315/2 = 0] which can be solved to give h = 2.59808.
The area of triangle ABC is (1/2)*AB*CE = (1/2)*37*2.59808 = 48.064 (which is the same as (111*sqrt(3))/4).
Excellent!
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Very good
Glad to hear that!
Thanks for the feedback ❤️
For me it was a teaching moment.
Following the method and overcoming the confusion of the figure being not to scale (😂)
Great problem!
I solved this by drawing a segment CE vertical to AD and found that ED = 1.5. I used the formula tan(A+B) = (tan A + tan B) / (1 - tan A * tan B), knowing that A + B = 30.
So cool! The Pythagorean Theorem is a Special Case of the Law of Cosines. 🙂 Had a lot of fun solving. 😉
So cool!
Thanks for the feedback ❤️

I have an alternative way to find x=3 without having to construct any lines using trigonometry only. Here is my version.
Let Angle CAB=a then angle ACD=120-a, angle ABC=30-a and angle BCD=30+a.
Law of sine for triangle ACD,
sin a/ x=sin(120-a)/7. ……(1)
Similarly for triangle BCD,
sin(30-a)/x=sin(30+a)/30. …..(2)
Dividing (1) by (2)
sin a/sin(30-a)=sin(120-a)/sin(30+a)*30/7
2*sin a*sin(30+a)=2*sin(30-a)*sin(120-a)*30/7
-cos(2*a+30)+cos 30=(-cos(150-2*a)+cos 90)*30/7
-cos(2*a+30)+sqrt(3)/2=(-cos(180-30-2*a)*30/7=
-cos(180-(30+2*a))*30/7=cos(30+2*a)*30/7
cos(2*a+30)=7/74*sqrt(3) from which ,we get sin(2*a+30)=73/74
cos(2*a)=cos((2*a+30)-30)=cos(2*a+30)*cos 30+sin(2*a+30)*sin 30=47/74
cos(2*a)=2*cos(a)^2-1=47/74 from which tan(a)=3/11*sqrt(3) or cot(a)=11/(3*sqrt(3))
From (1)
x=7*sin(a)/sin(120-a)=7*sin(a)/(sin(120)*cos(a)-cos 120*sin(a)=7/(sqrt(3)/2*cot(a)+1/2)=3
Awesome!
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Exactly this is how I solved it 😄
@@thinker821what a coincidence! You must be quite a trigonometry lover as me.

Cosine rule?no idea at all.😅
A more general formula of the Pythagorean theorem
@Mediterranean81 I see. But no idea how to apply to solve this puzzle. 😕
