Steps 1. Assume CD = h 2. AD = 34/h, DB = 136/h ... Area of both ∆s is goven. 3. By Thales theorum ang ACB is 90 So CD is Altitude on the Hypotuneous of a Rt. traingle 4. So CD is Geometric Mean of AD and DB So h Sqr = 34/h * 168/h 5. So solving this CD = h = 2√17 Hence AD = 34/h = √17 and DB = 136/h = 4√17. So Diameter = AB = 5√17
I took an approach more like the way Mr. PreMath usually does! That's similar triangles. The key is Thales theorem: angle ABC is a right angle. We can work out alpha and beta angles to show that yellow and green triangles are similar. Also, as pointed out in the video, AD and DB have the proportion 17:68. Adding them up, 2r = 5*AD or 5/4*DB. I'll call the height CD "h". The total of both triangles area is height * base / 2. Or h*2r/2 = (17+68). Simplified to h*r = 85. The ratio CD:AB equals DB:CD. Filling in the numbers, h * (2r/5) = (8r/5) / h. Cross multiplying, h^2 = 16 * r^2 / 25. Taking square root, h = 4r/5. Now consider h*r = 85, or r = 85/h. h = 4*85/h*5. or h = 68/h. Multiplying by h, h^2 = 68 or h = sqrt(68) or h = 2 * sqrt(17). From above, r = 5h/4. That means r = 10 * sqrt(17) / 4 or r = 5 * sqrt(17) / 2. Squaring, r^2 = 25 * 17 / 4. or r^2 = 425/4. The semicircle area is pi * r^2 / 2 or 425/8 pi.

The 2 small right triangles (yellow and green) share 1 acute angle with the large triangle so all 3 triangles are similar, so sides will be proportional and square-root of areas too. 68/17 = 4 = 2^2, so sides of green triangles are twice sides of yellow triangle. If a = AD, then CD = 2 x AD = 2a. So area of yellow triangle 2a x a/2 = a^2 = 17. So, AB^2 = CB^2 + AC^2 = (4+1) AC^2 = 5 (AD^2 + DC^2) = 5 ( (4+1) a^2 ) = 25 a^2 => AB = 5a = Diameter. So, semi-circle area = pi/2 x (Diameter/2)^2 = pi/8 x 25 a^2 = pi/8 x 25 x 17 = 425 pi / 8 cm^2.
for both triangles use A=1/2*g*h. h is equal to both triangles. So calculate 17 (and also 68) = 1/2*2*h (it works) or 1/2 *4*h (this is realistic) = Area 157,0796...
Method using base side ratio = area ratio for equal height triangles and intersecting chords theorem: 1. Triangles ADC and BDC are equal height triangles. Hence AD:BD = 17:68 = 1:4 2. Let R be the radius. AB = AD + BD = 2R. Hence AD = (2/5)R and BD = (8/5)R 4. For complete circle, by intersecting chords theorem (CD)^2 = (AD)(BD) (CD)^2 = (2/5)(8/5)R^2 (equation 1) 5. In triangle ADC, area = 17 = (1/2)(AD)(CD) Hence CD = (17)(2)/[(2/5)R] = (5)(17)/R CD^2 = [(5)(17)/R]^2 (equation 2) 6. From equations (1) and (2) (2/5)(8/5)R^2 = [(5)(17)/R]^2 R^4 = (5^4)(17^2)/(2)(8) R^2 = (5^2)(17)/4 = 425/4 7. Area of semicircle = (1/2)(425/4)pi = (425/8)pi
Although the numbers make it that DB is 4x the length of AD, the image makes it appear 3x the length. I will go with the numbers due to the usual warning that the image may not be accurate. Call CD, h. Split the diameter into (8/5)r and (2/5)r. Call CD, h. Intersecting chords: (16/25)r^2 = h^2, so r^2 = (25/16)h^2, r = (5/4)h, and h = (4/5)r. Green triangle: (4/5)r * (8/5)r = 136 (32/25)r^2 = 136 (16/25)r^2 = 68 (16/5)r^2 =340 (4/5)r^2 = 85 r^2 = 85*(5/4) r^2 = 425/4, so (425/4)pi for a full circle and (425/8)pi for a semicircle. 166.92 cm^2 I have now watched. Although we took different paths, there was plenty of overlap. I never bothered calculating r, because r^2 was more relevant. Thank you once again.

I just saw them as similar triangles, ADC, CDB, and ACB. Yellow is a 1:2:sqrt5 triangle, green is 2:4:2sqrt5, and big is sqrt5:2sqrt5:5. Diameter is 5, radius is 5/2, area is 25pi/4. *Now* scale. So 1:2:sqrt5 has an area of 1unit, but is 17cm2 so that's the scaling factor. Circle area is (17)(25pi/4). Semicircle is half that, so (17)(25pi/8) or 425pi/8. ✨Magic!✨
Let ∠CAB = α and ∠ABC = β, where α and β are complementary angles that sum to 90°. As ∠ADC = 90°, ∠BCA = 90°-α = β and thus ∆BCA and ∆ADC are similar triangles. Similarly, as ∠BCD = 90°-β = α, ∆CDB is also aimilar to the above triangles. As ∆CDB and ∆ADC are similar triangles and the area of ∆CDB is 4 times the area of ∆ADC, then the lengths of the sides of ∆CDB are √4 = 2 times the length of the corresponding sides of ∆ADC. Thus DB = 2DC. And as the two triangles are similar, this means DC = 2AD. Let AD = x. AB = AD + DB AB = AD + 2DC AB = AD + 2(2AD) = 5AD = 5x Triangle ∆CDB: Aᴛ = bh/2 = DB(DC)/2 68 = 4x(2x)/2 = 4x² x² = 68/4 = 17 x = √17 AB = 5x 2r = 5√17 r = (5√17)/2 Semicircle O: Aₒ = πr²/2 = π((5√17/2)²/2 Aₒ = π(25)(17)/8 = 425π/8 ≈ 166.90 cm²

Greetings from Cordoba!!
Let's find the area: . .. ... .... ..... The areas of the two right triangles ACD and BCD can be calculated in the following way: A(ACD) = (1/2)*AD*CD A(BCD) = (1/2)*BD*CD ⇒ BD/AD = A(BCD)/A(ACD) = (68cm²/17cm²) = 4 ⇒ BD/(2*R) = BD/(AD + BD) = 4*AD/(AD + 4*AD) = 4*AD/(5*AD) = 4/5 ∧ AD/(2*R) = AD/(AD + BD) = 1*AD/(AD + 4*AD) = 1*AD/(5*AD) = 1/5 According to the theorem of Thales the triangle ABC is also a right triangle. Therefore we can apply the right triangle altitude theorem: CD² = AD*BD = AD*4*AD = 4*AD² ⇒ CD = 2*AD Now we are able to calculate the radius R and the area A of the semicircle: A(ACD) = (1/2)*AD*CD = (1/2)*AD*(2*AD) = AD² AD/(2*R) = 1/5 5*AD = 2*R ⇒ R = 5*AD/2 A = πR²/2 = π*(5*AD/2)²/2 = (25/8)π*AD² = (25/8)π*A(ACD) = (25/8)π*(17cm²) = (425π/8)cm² ≈ 166.90cm² Best regards from Germany

Steps
1. Assume CD = h
2. AD = 34/h, DB = 136/h ... Area of both ∆s is goven.
3. By Thales theorum ang ACB is 90
So CD is Altitude on the Hypotuneous of a Rt. traingle
4. So CD is Geometric Mean of AD and DB
So h Sqr = 34/h * 168/h
5. So solving this CD = h = 2√17
Hence AD = 34/h = √17 and DB = 136/h = 4√17. So Diameter = AB = 5√17
Great!

Squaring, r^2 = 25 * 17 / 4. or r^2 = 425/4. The semicircle area is pi * r^2 / 2 or 425/8 pi.

17 * 4 = 68, this means, that the ratio of the legs is 1 : √4 = 1 : 2.
x * 2x = 2 * 17
x² = 17
x = √17
d = AB = 1x + 4x = 5x = 5√17
r = 5/2 √17
A(semicircle) = 1/2 * r² * π = 1/2 * (5/2 √17)² π = 1/2 * 25/4 * 17 * π = (25 * 17) / 8 π = 53.125 π = 166.9 square units
The 2 small right triangles (yellow and green) share 1 acute angle with the large triangle so all 3 triangles are similar, so sides will be proportional and square-root of areas too.
68/17 = 4 = 2^2, so sides of green triangles are twice sides of yellow triangle. If a = AD, then CD = 2 x AD = 2a. So area of yellow triangle 2a x a/2 = a^2 = 17.
So, AB^2 = CB^2 + AC^2 = (4+1) AC^2 = 5 (AD^2 + DC^2) = 5 ( (4+1) a^2 ) = 25 a^2 => AB = 5a = Diameter.
So, semi-circle area = pi/2 x (Diameter/2)^2 = pi/8 x 25 a^2 = pi/8 x 25 x 17 = 425 pi / 8 cm^2.
Very good sir❤❤

We can also use the Phytagorean theorem in triangle ODC to have CD.

Method using base side ratio = area ratio for equal height triangles and intersecting chords theorem:
1. Triangles ADC and BDC are equal height triangles.
Hence AD:BD = 17:68 = 1:4
2. Let R be the radius.
AB = AD + BD = 2R.
Hence AD = (2/5)R and BD = (8/5)R
4. For complete circle, by intersecting chords theorem
(CD)^2 = (AD)(BD)
(CD)^2 = (2/5)(8/5)R^2 (equation 1)
5. In triangle ADC, area = 17 = (1/2)(AD)(CD)
Hence CD = (17)(2)/[(2/5)R] = (5)(17)/R
CD^2 = [(5)(17)/R]^2 (equation 2)
6. From equations (1) and (2)
(2/5)(8/5)R^2 = [(5)(17)/R]^2
R^4 = (5^4)(17^2)/(2)(8)
R^2 = (5^2)(17)/4 = 425/4
7. Area of semicircle = (1/2)(425/4)pi = (425/8)pi

Split the diameter into (8/5)r and (2/5)r.
Call CD, h.
Intersecting chords: (16/25)r^2 = h^2, so r^2 = (25/16)h^2, r = (5/4)h, and h = (4/5)r.
Green triangle: (4/5)r * (8/5)r = 136
(32/25)r^2 = 136

Let CD=h and AD=x -> BD=2R-x. Since 17=x *h/2 and 68 = (2R-x) *h/2, then 2R-x = 4x -> 2R=5x -> R=5x.2. Chord Intersection Theorem: (2R-x) *x = h^2 = 4x*x = 4x^2 -> h=2x. Now [ADC] = x *h/2 = 2x^2/2 = x^2 = 17 -> x=sqrt (17) -> R=5*sqrt (17)/2 --> A(semicircle) = PI*R^2/2 = Pi/2 * [5*sqrt (17)/2] ^2 = Pi/2 *25*17/4 = Pi*425/8 cm^2
122.656 the area. AD=a, so DB= 2r-a×CD/2=68, and a×CD/2=17 two equations and I got a=2.5 and CD=13.6, so 2r×13.6/2=68+17, r=6.25 and area of semicircle=122.656. Why didn't I got your answer?

△ABD ~ △ACD ~ △BCD
(1/2)(2r)(CD) = [ABC]
(1/2)(2r)(CD) = 17 + 68
CD = 85/r
[BCD]/[ACD] = 68/17 = 4
BD = (CD)√([BCD]/[ACD])
BD = (85/r)√(4)
BD = 170/r
AD = (CD)√([ACD]/[BCD])
AD = (85/r)√(1/4)
AD = 85/2r
AB = AD + BD
2r = (85/2r) + (170/r)
2r = (85 + 340)/2r
r² = 425/4
Area (semi-circle) = (πr²)/2
Area (semi-circle) = (π425/4)/2
Area (semi-circle) = 425π/8
Solution:
p = left hypotenuse segment,
q = right hypotenuse segment,
h = height of the triangle.
(1) h*p/2 = 17
(2) h*q/2 = 68
(1)*(2) = (3) h*p/2*h*q/2 = 17*68 |*4 ⟹
(3a) h²*p*q = 17*68*4 | p*q = h² [Euclid's altitude theorem] ⟹
(3b) p*q*p*q = (p*q)² = 4624 | √() ⟹ (3c) p*q = 68 = h² ⟹ (3d) h = √68 (4) h*q = 2*68 |/h ⟹ (4a) q = 2*68/h = 2*68/√68 = 2*√68 | in (3c) ⟹
(3e) p*2*√68 = 68 |/(2*√68) ⟹
(3e) p = 68/(2*√68) = √68/2 ⟹
r = (p+q)/2 = (√68/2+2*√68)/2 = √68/4+√68 = 5/4*√68 = 5/4*√(4*17) = 5/4*2*√17
= 5/2*√17
Area of the semicircle = π*r²/2 = π*(5/2*√17)²/2 = π*25/4*17/2 = 53.125π ≈ 166.8971[cm²]

The areas of the two right triangles ACD and BCD can be calculated in the following way:
A(ACD) = (1/2)*AD*CD
A(BCD) = (1/2)*BD*CD
⇒ BD/AD = A(BCD)/A(ACD) = (68cm²/17cm²) = 4
⇒ BD/(2*R) = BD/(AD + BD) = 4*AD/(AD + 4*AD) = 4*AD/(5*AD) = 4/5
∧ AD/(2*R) = AD/(AD + BD) = 1*AD/(AD + 4*AD) = 1*AD/(5*AD) = 1/5
According to the theorem of Thales the triangle ABC is also a right triangle. Therefore we can apply the right triangle altitude theorem:
CD² = AD*BD = AD*4*AD = 4*AD² ⇒ CD = 2*AD
Now we are able to calculate the radius R and the area A of the semicircle:
A(ACD) = (1/2)*AD*CD = (1/2)*AD*(2*AD) = AD²
AD/(2*R) = 1/5
5*AD = 2*R
⇒ R = 5*AD/2
A = πR²/2 = π*(5*AD/2)²/2 = (25/8)π*AD² = (25/8)π*A(ACD) = (25/8)π*(17cm²) = (425π/8)cm² ≈ 166.90cm²
