As ∆ADC = 7cm² and ∆CDB = 28cm², which is a ratio of 1:4, and the two triangles share the same height (CD), then their bases (AD and DB) must share the same ratio. Thus AD = c/5 and DB = 4c/5. As ∠BCA = 90° by Thales' Theorem, then as ∠ADC = ∠CDB = 90° and ∠CAB = ∠CAD = ∠BCD = 90°-∠B, then ∆BCA, ∆ADC, and ∆CDB are similar triangles. AD/CD = CD/DB (c/5)/CD = CD/(4c/5) CD² = (c/5)(4c/5) = 4c²/25 CD = √(4c²/25) = 2c/5 Triangle ∆CDB: A = bh/2 = DB(CD)/2 28 = (4c/5)(2c/5)/2 28 = (8c²/25)/2 = 4c²/25 c² = 28(25/4) = 7(25) = 175 c = √175 = 5√7 CA/DC = BC/DB a/2√7 = b/4√7 2√7b = 4√7a b = 4√7a/2√7 = 2a a² + b² = c² a² + (2a)² = (5√7)² a² + 4a² = 175 5a² = 175 a² = 175/5 = 35 a = √35 b = 2a = 2√35 a + b + c = √35 + 2√35 + 5√7 [ a + b + c = 3√35 + 5√7 ≈ 30.977cm ]
Without thinking outside the box: Be h = CD. We have AD.h = 2.7 = 14 and BD.h = 2.28 = 56, so BD = 4.AD, and AD as AD +BD = c, we get that AD= (1/5).c and BD = (4/5).c In triangle ADC: h^2 = a^2 -(1/25).(c^2), and in triangle BDC : h^2 = b^2 - (16/25).(c^2), so b^2 - a^2 = (15/25).(c^2) = (3/5).(c^2) As a^2 + b^2 = c^2 in triangle ABC, we get then that b^2 = (4/5).(c^2) and a^2 = (1/5).(c^2), giving b = (2.sqrt(5))/5).c and a = (sqrt(5)/5).c We had h^2 = a^2 - (1/25).(c^2), so h^2 = (1/5).(c^2) - (1/25).(c^2) = (4/25).(c^2), giving that h = (2/5).c We had AD.h = 14, so ((1/5).c).((2/5).c) = 14, and so c^2) = (14.25)/2 = 7.25, giving that c = 5.sqrt(7) Now we get a = (sqrt(5)/5).c = sqrt(35) and b = ((2.sqrt(5))/5).c = 2.sqrt(35), and finally a + b + c = sqrt(35) + 2.sqrt(35) + 5.sqrt(7) = (sqrt(7)).(5 + 3.sqrt(5)).
my method since the left and right triangles have an area ratio of 4 and because those triangles are similar. (a property of rt angled triangles divided by the perpendicular) then corresponding lengths in the triangles will have a ratio of √4 =2 hence b=2a. now the area of the whole triangle is 35 and this is calculated as ab/2 35=a(2a)/2 a^2=35, b^2=140 and by Pythagoras c^2 =a²+b²=175 it follows that a=√35, b=2√35 c=5√7 so a+b+c=3√35+5√7 Incidentally, this diagram can be used to prove pythagoras. First using angle sums, the two constituent triangles and the whole triangle are all similar. For any similar triangles, the area of each triangle is in proportion to the square of corresponding lengths in the triangle. The chosen corresponding lengths are the hypotenuses of each triangle (a,b,c) ie area of ΔACD =ka² ΔDCB=kb² ΔABC=kc² now the two component triangles have a total area equal to the area of the large triangle. ie. ka²+kb²=kc² hence a² +b ² =c² QED 😊
ABC & ACD are similar triangles. Hence a^2/c^2 =7/35=1/5 > a/c =1/√5--(1) ABC & BCD are similar triangles.

Solution: Triangles with the same height will have areas whose ratios is the same as the ratio of their bases In other words: ∆ ADC Area/∆ BDC Area 7/28 = 1/4 Therefore If AD = k, BD = 4k Applying Chords Theorem h² = k . 4k h² = 4k² h = 2k ∆ ADC A = ½ base × heigth 7 = ½ k × 2k 14 = 2k² k = √7 ===== Applying Pythagorean Theorem in ∆ ADC (k)² + (2k)² = a² k² + 4k² = a² a² = 5k² a = k √5 a = √7 . √5 a = √35 ====== c = k + 4k c = 5k c = 5√7 ====== Applying Thales's Theorem in ∆ ABC and, at the same time, Pythagorean Theorem, to calculate "b" a² + b² = c² (√35)² + b² = (5√7)² 35 + b² = 175 b² = 140 b = 2√35 ======= Final Step a + b + c = √35 + 2√35 + 5√7 a + b + c = 3√35 + 5√7 cm ✅ a + b + c = 30.9769 cm ✅

Let's face this Christmas challenge: . .. ... .... ..... The triangle ABC can be divided into the right triangles ACD and BCD. So we can conclude: A(ABC) = A(ACD) + A(BCD) = (1/2)*AD*CD + (1/2)*BD*CD = (1/2)*(AD + BD)*CD A(ACD) = (1/2)*AD*CD ∧ A(BCD) = (1/2)*BD*CD ⇒ BD/AD = A(BCD)/A(ACD) = (28cm²/7cm²) = 4 ⇒ BD = 4*AD According to the theorem of Thales the triangle ABC is a right triangle. So we can apply the right triangle altitude theorem: CD² = AD*BD CD² = AD*(4*AD) CD² = 4*AD² ⇒ CD = 2*AD A(ACD) + A(BCD) = (1/2)*(AD + BD)*CD 7cm² + 28cm² = (1/2)*(AD + 4*AD)*(2*AD) 35cm² = 5*AD² 7cm² = AD² ⇒ AD = √(7cm²) = (√7)cm CD = 2*AD = (2√7)cm BD = 4*AD = (4√7)cm Now we apply the Pythagorean theorem to the right triangles ACD and BCD: AC² = AD² + CD² = (√7)²cm² + (2√7)²cm² = 7cm² + 28cm² = 35cm² ⇒ AC = √( 35cm)² = (√35)cm BC² = BD² + CD² = (4√7)²cm² + (2√7)²cm² = 112cm² + 28cm² = 140cm² ⇒ BC = √(140cm)² = (2√35)cm Now we are able to calculate the perimeter of the triangle ABC: P(ABC) = AB + AC + BC = (AD + BD) + AC + BC = (√7)cm + (4√7)cm + (√35)cm + (2√35)cm = (5√7)cm + (3√35)cm ≈ 30.98cm And now (as a Christmas gift) let's check the side lengths by applying Heron's formula: s = (AB + AC + BC)/2 = [(5√7 + 3√35)/2]cm s − AB = [(5√7 + 3√35)/2 − 5√7]cm = [(3√35 − 5√7)/2]cm s − AC = [(5√7 + 3√35)/2 − √35]cm = [(5√7 + √35)/2]cm s − BC = [(5√7 + 3√35)/2 − 2√35]cm = [(5√7 − √35)/2]cm s * (s − AB) * (s − AC) * (s − BC) = [(5√7 + 3√35)/2]*[(3√35 − 5√7)/2]*[(5√7 + √35)/2]*[(5√7 − √35)/2]cm⁴ = [(9*35 − 25*7)*(25*7 − 35)/16]cm⁴ = [(315 − 175)*(175 − 35)/16]cm⁴ = [140*140/16]cm⁴ = 35²cm⁴ ⇒ A(ABC) = √[s * (s − AB) * (s − AC) * (s − BC)] = 35cm² ✅ Best regards from Germany

*_Nota de Aula:_*
c² = a²+ b² = (a+b)² - 2ab
(a+b)² = c² + 2ab. Ora,
c²=175 e ab= 2×[ABC] = 2×35=70. Daí,
(a+b)² = 175 + 140 = 315 = 9×35. Assim,
a + b = 3√35. Portanto,
*a + b + c = 3√35 + 5√7*
7 : 28 = 1 : 4 = 1² : 2²
AD=k CD=2k DB=4k AB=AD+DB=5k
5k*2k*1/2=7+28 5k²=35 k2=7 k=√7
a²=(√7)²+(2√7)²=35 a=√35 b²=(2√7)²+(4√7)²=140 b=2√35 c=AB=5√7
a + b + c = 3√35 + 5√7 (cm)
The title needs correcting.

As ∆ADC = 7cm² and ∆CDB = 28cm², which is a ratio of 1:4, and the two triangles share the same height (CD), then their bases (AD and DB) must share the same ratio. Thus AD = c/5 and DB = 4c/5.
As ∠BCA = 90° by Thales' Theorem, then as ∠ADC = ∠CDB = 90° and ∠CAB = ∠CAD = ∠BCD = 90°-∠B, then ∆BCA, ∆ADC, and ∆CDB are similar triangles.
AD/CD = CD/DB
(c/5)/CD = CD/(4c/5)
CD² = (c/5)(4c/5) = 4c²/25
CD = √(4c²/25) = 2c/5
Triangle ∆CDB:
A = bh/2 = DB(CD)/2
28 = (4c/5)(2c/5)/2
28 = (8c²/25)/2 = 4c²/25
c² = 28(25/4) = 7(25) = 175
c = √175 = 5√7
CA/DC = BC/DB
a/2√7 = b/4√7
2√7b = 4√7a
b = 4√7a/2√7 = 2a
a² + b² = c²
a² + (2a)² = (5√7)²
a² + 4a² = 175
5a² = 175
a² = 175/5 = 35
a = √35
b = 2a = 2√35
a + b + c = √35 + 2√35 + 5√7
[ a + b + c = 3√35 + 5√7 ≈ 30.977cm ]
A questão é mais difícil do que parece. Muito inteligente!! Parabéns mestre!! 👍
Without thinking outside the box:
Be h = CD. We have AD.h = 2.7 = 14 and BD.h = 2.28 = 56, so BD = 4.AD, and AD as AD +BD = c, we get that AD= (1/5).c and BD = (4/5).c
In triangle ADC: h^2 = a^2 -(1/25).(c^2), and in triangle BDC : h^2 = b^2 - (16/25).(c^2), so b^2 - a^2 = (15/25).(c^2) = (3/5).(c^2)
As a^2 + b^2 = c^2 in triangle ABC, we get then that b^2 = (4/5).(c^2) and a^2 = (1/5).(c^2), giving b = (2.sqrt(5))/5).c and a = (sqrt(5)/5).c
We had h^2 = a^2 - (1/25).(c^2), so h^2 = (1/5).(c^2) - (1/25).(c^2) = (4/25).(c^2), giving that h = (2/5).c
We had AD.h = 14, so ((1/5).c).((2/5).c) = 14, and so c^2) = (14.25)/2 = 7.25, giving that c = 5.sqrt(7)
Now we get a = (sqrt(5)/5).c = sqrt(35) and b = ((2.sqrt(5))/5).c = 2.sqrt(35),
and finally a + b + c = sqrt(35) + 2.sqrt(35) + 5.sqrt(7) = (sqrt(7)).(5 + 3.sqrt(5)).
my method
since the left and right triangles have an area ratio of 4 and because those triangles are similar.
(a property of rt angled triangles divided by the perpendicular)
then corresponding lengths in the triangles will have a ratio of √4 =2
hence b=2a.
now the area of the whole triangle is 35 and this is calculated as ab/2
35=a(2a)/2 a^2=35, b^2=140 and by Pythagoras c^2 =a²+b²=175
it follows that a=√35, b=2√35 c=5√7
so a+b+c=3√35+5√7
Incidentally, this diagram can be used to prove pythagoras.
First using angle sums, the two constituent triangles and the whole triangle are all similar.
For any similar triangles, the area of each triangle is in proportion to the square of corresponding lengths in the triangle. The chosen corresponding lengths are the hypotenuses of each triangle (a,b,c)
ie area of ΔACD =ka² ΔDCB=kb² ΔABC=kc²
now the two component triangles have a total area equal to the area of the large triangle.
ie. ka²+kb²=kc²
hence
a² +b ² =c² QED

ABC & ACD are similar triangles.
Hence a^2/c^2 =7/35=1/5
> a/c =1/√5--(1)
ABC & BCD are similar triangles.
Hence b^/c^2=28/35=4/5

From (1) & (2) we get
a ঃ b ঃ c = 1ঃ 2ঃ√5=kঃ2k ঃ √5 k
The area of the 🔺 ABC

A=5.353 b=13.076696 c=14
Solution:
Triangles with the same height will have areas whose ratios is the same as the ratio of their bases
In other words:
∆ ADC Area/∆ BDC Area
7/28 = 1/4
Therefore If AD = k, BD = 4k
Applying Chords Theorem
h² = k . 4k
h² = 4k²
h = 2k
∆ ADC
A = ½ base × heigth
7 = ½ k × 2k
14 = 2k²
k = √7

Applying Pythagorean Theorem in ∆ ADC
(k)² + (2k)² = a²
k² + 4k² = a²
a² = 5k²
a = k √5
a = √7 . √5
a = √35
======
c = k + 4k
c = 5k
c = 5√7
======
Applying Thales's Theorem in ∆ ABC and, at the same time, Pythagorean Theorem, to calculate "b"
a² + b² = c²
(√35)² + b² = (5√7)²
35 + b² = 175
b² = 140
b = 2√35
=======
Final Step
a + b + c = √35 + 2√35 + 5√7
a + b + c = 3√35 + 5√7 cm ✅
a + b + c = 30.9769 cm ✅
BDC /ADC =
(1/2*BD*CD)/(1/2*AD*CD)= 28/7

Let's face this Christmas challenge:

The triangle ABC can be divided into the right triangles ACD and BCD. So we can conclude:
A(ABC) = A(ACD) + A(BCD) = (1/2)*AD*CD + (1/2)*BD*CD = (1/2)*(AD + BD)*CD
A(ACD) = (1/2)*AD*CD ∧ A(BCD) = (1/2)*BD*CD ⇒ BD/AD = A(BCD)/A(ACD) = (28cm²/7cm²) = 4 ⇒ BD = 4*AD
According to the theorem of Thales the triangle ABC is a right triangle. So we can apply the right triangle altitude theorem:
CD² = AD*BD
CD² = AD*(4*AD)
CD² = 4*AD²
⇒ CD = 2*AD
A(ACD) + A(BCD) = (1/2)*(AD + BD)*CD
7cm² + 28cm² = (1/2)*(AD + 4*AD)*(2*AD)
35cm² = 5*AD²
7cm² = AD²
⇒ AD = √(7cm²) = (√7)cm
CD = 2*AD = (2√7)cm
BD = 4*AD = (4√7)cm
Now we apply the Pythagorean theorem to the right triangles ACD and BCD:
AC² = AD² + CD² = (√7)²cm² + (2√7)²cm² = 7cm² + 28cm² = 35cm² ⇒ AC = √( 35cm)² = (√35)cm
BC² = BD² + CD² = (4√7)²cm² + (2√7)²cm² = 112cm² + 28cm² = 140cm² ⇒ BC = √(140cm)² = (2√35)cm
Now we are able to calculate the perimeter of the triangle ABC:
P(ABC) = AB + AC + BC = (AD + BD) + AC + BC = (√7)cm + (4√7)cm + (√35)cm + (2√35)cm = (5√7)cm + (3√35)cm ≈ 30.98cm
And now (as a Christmas gift) let's check the side lengths by applying Heron's formula:
s = (AB + AC + BC)/2 = [(5√7 + 3√35)/2]cm
s − AB = [(5√7 + 3√35)/2 − 5√7]cm = [(3√35 − 5√7)/2]cm
s − AC = [(5√7 + 3√35)/2 − √35]cm = [(5√7 + √35)/2]cm
s − BC = [(5√7 + 3√35)/2 − 2√35]cm = [(5√7 − √35)/2]cm
s * (s − AB) * (s − AC) * (s − BC)
= [(5√7 + 3√35)/2]*[(3√35 − 5√7)/2]*[(5√7 + √35)/2]*[(5√7 − √35)/2]cm⁴
= [(9*35 − 25*7)*(25*7 − 35)/16]cm⁴
= [(315 − 175)*(175 − 35)/16]cm⁴
= [140*140/16]cm⁴
= 35²cm⁴
⇒ A(ABC) = √[s * (s − AB) * (s − AC) * (s − BC)] = 35cm² ✅
