Algebraic method: if a,b are the other sides of the triangle, ab=1250(2)=2500 and a²+b²=10000, then (a+b)²=10000+2(2500)=15000, (a-b)²=10000-2(2500)=5000, then a+b=50√6, a-b=±50√2; solving equation system: , a=25(√6+√2), b=25(√6-√2) or a=25(√6-√2), b=25(√6+√2), finally tanx=2+√3 or tanx2-√3, and x=75º or x=15º. There are TWO solutions to this problem.
My method: Let's build an equivalent triangle under our given triangle. Then a hypotenuse will also be 100 and an angle between these hypotenuses will be 2x. So, we know the sides and an area which is also doubled, so we can find an angle from an equation: 100²sin2x/2=2500 5000sin2x=2500 sin2x=2500/5000=1/2 sin2x=1/2 There are infinite solutions, but in our case angle is acute, so there's one solution for 2x: 2x=30° x=15°
From angle B we draw the median BO to the hypotenuse, AO=CO=BO=50; And also the height BD=h. From 1250=(1/2)×100×h, h=2×1250/100=25. BD/BO= sin(2x); sin(2x)=25/50=1/2; 2x=30°; x=15°.
One can make a good educated guess that the right triangle is one of those that appear frequently in problems, so we should try those first, especially after being given the clue that calculators are not allowed. Let A = area and h = hypotenuse. So, we try 45°-45°-90°. A = h²/4 = 10000/4 = 2500. Then we try 30°-60°-90°. A = (h²)(√3)/8. Since there is a radical, the area can not be an integer. Next we try 15°-75°-90°, which appears so often in problems that we are familiar with its properties. A = h²/8 = (100)²/8 = 10000/8 = 1250. We have a match! Our answer is x = 15° or 75°.
Notice that ab/2=1250 and a²+b²=100² with tanx=b/a can be transformed to (b/a)/2500=1/a², 1+(b/a)²=100²/a²=100²(b/a)/2500=4(b/a), so tanx²-4tanx+1=0, so tanx=2±√3, and finally tanx=15º or tanx=75º.
Geometric - and fastest - solution: AC is diameter of a circle containing points ABC with center O is at middle of AC with radius r=50. OB is radius too, so OB=r=50. Then AOB is isosceles so ∠ABO=∠OAB=x. Trace height DB from B to AC, then 100DB/2=1250, so DB=25. BDO is a rectangle triangle with hypotenuse OB=r=50 and one cathetus DB=25 then ∠DBO=60º and ∠DOB=30º Depending of position, height DB can be below or above to OB, so
15 That is a 75 15 90 degree triangle in which the hypotenuse square divided by 8 = area Hence 100^2 /8 = 10,000/8 = 1,250 So x = 15 degrees if it faces the smaller side and 75 degrees if it faces the longer sides. It appears it is facing the smaller side , so x =15 degrees if the hypotenuse is 50 , then the area = 50^2/8 =312.5
Again I did this the hard way; I solved for 2 equations (A^2+B^2=100^2 and (A*B)/2=1250 using the quadratic equation and denesting the radical. After a fair amount of algebra you get BC=25(sqrt6-sqrt2) (after defining BC as the short side of the triangle), and AB=25(sqrt6+sqrt2). Construct a 60 degree angle at C that intersects AB at point D. Triangle ABD is 30-60-90. Therefore BD =BC*sqrt3. And CD=BC*2 AD=AB-BD which turns out to be equal to CD. Therefore triangle ADC is isosceles with angle D=150 (supplementary to 30). Therefore angle A=15 Define AB as the short side of the triangle and get angle A=75, the other solution. Another fun puzzle, thanks PreMath!
There should be 2 answers for x, x= 15 and x = 75. As sin(2x) = 1/2 => 2x = 30 or 2x = (180 - 30) = 150. This is just a swap of complementary angles of the right-angled triangle. The key to solution of this problem is that for a right-angled triangle with given hypotenuse, the area formulae has the implicit factor of sinxcosx while x is solvable by double angle formulae for sin as sin(2x) = 2cosxsinx.
I did solve the given Problem this way : 1) Divide 100 by 100. You get the hypotenuse equal to 1. h = 1 cm 2) Divide 1.250 * 2 = 2.500 by 100^2. As the Linear Ratio is 100 the second degree Ratio is equal to 100^2 = 10.000 3) Now we have a Triangle, of Hypotenuse = 1 and Area = 0,25 / 2 = 0,125 sq cm 4) Now, if the sides of the Triangle were equal we will have that 50 * 50 / 2 = 2.500 / 2 = 1.250 sq cm. But h^2 = 50^2 + 50^2 ; h^2 = 2.500 + 2.500 ; h^2 = 5.000 ; h = sqrt(5.000) ; h ~ 70,7 5) One must conclude that Length AB different from Length BC. 6) Tan(x) = BC / AB, but we don't know the Length of the Cathetus to find the value of x. 7) What we know is that sin(x) = BC / 100 and the cos(x) = AB / 100. 8) Now, in the Reduced Triangle [ABC] : AB * BC = 0,125 sq cm and AB^2 + BC^2 = 1 9) Doing this fastidious calculations we can achieve our goal, wich is AB = 0,966 cm and BC = 0,259 cm. 10) Multiplying these results by 100 we have : AB = 96,6 cm and BC = 25,9 cm. 11) Check h^2 = 96,6^2 + 25,9^2 ; 100^2 = 9.331,56 + 670,81 100^2 = 10.002,37 wich is a good approximation!! 12) tan(x) = BC / AB ; tan(x) = 25,9 / 96,6 ; tan(x) = 0,268 13) It returns me that x ~ 15º 14) That's all.
If you divide the hypotenuse square or 100^2 by 8 and get 1250, then it is a 15-75-90 degree, right triangle Why? let's call the two unknown 'a' and 'b' then its area = a * b * 1/2, but we are not given those two sides, only the length of the hypotenuse Since we have two sides and an angle, we can use the law of sine a /sine a = b/sine b = c/sine c Hence a = 100 * sine 15 -------------- sine 90 and b = 100 * sine 75 --------- since 90 Hence, the area of the triangle a * b * 1/2 or 100 * sine 15 100 * sine 75 1 ---------- * ----------- * ----- sine 90 sine 90 2 Let's do a little rearrangement. 100 * 100 * sine 15 * sine 75 1 ---------------------------------------------- * --- sine 90 * sine 90 2 Note that sine 90 degrees = 1 100 ^2 * sine 15 * 75 1 --------------------------------- * ------- 1 * 1 2 note that sine 15 * 75 (degrees) = 0.25 100^2 * 0.25 1 ------------------------' * -- 1 2 as 0.25 =1/4 100^2 * 1/4 * 1/2 100^2 * 1/8 (as 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8) 100^2 --------- 8 but 100 is the length of the hypotenuse so the hypotenuse square divided by 8 is the area of a 15-75-90 degree right triangle Of course, if you are given the two sides, we multiply them by 1/2 or ( or divide them by 2) To get the area, but what if we are not? PS note a= 25.888 and b= 95.59 and 25.88 x 95.59 = 2500 divided by 2 = 1250 the area

AB =a BC=b CA =c a^2+ b^2=10000 1/2absinB =1250 ab=1250*2/sinB=2500 (a+b)^2=12500 (a-b) ^2=10000-2500=7500 From here a and b will be known. Sin x = b/c x=sin inverse b/c
Being the hypotenuse the base we can find its height =1250*2/100=25 Drawing the median from point B, BH = CH = AH = 50 Being the height the half of the median we get a 30,60,90 right triangle in which 30 is the external angle of the isosceles triangle with side equal to median by construction. So x = 15

Thank you! I did it the same way!
From angle B we draw the median BO to the hypotenuse, AO=CO=BO=50;
And also the height BD=h.
From 1250=(1/2)×100×h,
h=2×1250/100=25.
BD/BO= sin(2x); sin(2x)=25/50=1/2; 2x=30°; x=15°.

Solution:
sin(2x) = 2*sin(x)*cos(x) = 2*BC/AC*AB/AC = 2*BC*AB/AC² = 4*(BC*AB/2)/AC² = 4 *1250/100² = 5000/10000 = 1/2 |arcsin() ⟹ 2x = 30° |/2 ⟹ x = 15°

That is a 75 15 90 degree triangle
in which the hypotenuse square divided by 8 = area
Hence 100^2 /8 = 10,000/8 = 1,250
So x = 15 degrees if it faces the smaller side and 75 degrees if it faces the longer sides.
It appears it is facing the smaller side , so x =15 degrees
if the hypotenuse is 50 , then the area = 50^2/8 =312.5
Again I did this the hard way; I solved for 2 equations (A^2+B^2=100^2 and (A*B)/2=1250 using the quadratic equation and denesting the radical.
After a fair amount of algebra you get BC=25(sqrt6-sqrt2) (after defining BC as the short side of the triangle), and AB=25(sqrt6+sqrt2).
Construct a 60 degree angle at C that intersects AB at point D. Triangle ABD is 30-60-90.
Therefore BD =BC*sqrt3. And CD=BC*2
AD=AB-BD which turns out to be equal to CD.
Therefore triangle ADC is isosceles with angle D=150 (supplementary to 30).
Therefore angle A=15
Define AB as the short side of the triangle and get angle A=75, the other solution.

Let AB=a ; BC==b

Nice method
Nice! φ = 30°; ∆ ABC → AC = 100; AB = a; BC = b; CAB = x = ?
ab/2 = 1250 → b = 2500/a → √(100^2 - a^2) = 2500/a
k ∶= a^2 → k1, k2 = 2500(2 ± √3) → sin(x) = b/100 = (√2/4)(√3 - 1) → x = φ/2

The answer could be 15 och 75. ( sin(2x) = 0.5 has two solutions: 2x = 30 + n360 or 2x = (180 - 30) + n360 )
Double Angle Identity did the trick!
A= (ab)/2

🏋Wonderful Math GYM🏋♂🏋♀
I did solve the given Problem this way :
1) Divide 100 by 100. You get the hypotenuse equal to 1. h = 1 cm
2) Divide 1.250 * 2 = 2.500 by 100^2. As the Linear Ratio is 100 the second degree Ratio is equal to 100^2 = 10.000
3) Now we have a Triangle, of Hypotenuse = 1 and Area = 0,25 / 2 = 0,125 sq cm
4) Now, if the sides of the Triangle were equal we will have that 50 * 50 / 2 = 2.500 / 2 = 1.250 sq cm. But h^2 = 50^2 + 50^2 ; h^2 = 2.500 + 2.500 ; h^2 = 5.000 ; h = sqrt(5.000) ; h ~ 70,7
5) One must conclude that Length AB different from Length BC.
6) Tan(x) = BC / AB, but we don't know the Length of the Cathetus to find the value of x.
7) What we know is that sin(x) = BC / 100 and the cos(x) = AB / 100.
8) Now, in the Reduced Triangle [ABC] : AB * BC = 0,125 sq cm and AB^2 + BC^2 = 1
9) Doing this fastidious calculations we can achieve our goal, wich is AB = 0,966 cm and BC = 0,259 cm.
10) Multiplying these results by 100 we have : AB = 96,6 cm and BC = 25,9 cm.
11) Check h^2 = 96,6^2 + 25,9^2 ; 100^2 = 9.331,56 + 670,81 100^2 = 10.002,37 wich is a good approximation!!
12) tan(x) = BC / AB ; tan(x) = 25,9 / 96,6 ; tan(x) = 0,268
13) It returns me that x ~ 15º
14) That's all.
If you divide the hypotenuse square or 100^2 by 8 and get 1250, then it is a 15-75-90 degree, right triangle
Why?
let's call the two unknown 'a' and 'b'
then its area = a * b * 1/2, but we are not given those two sides, only the length of the
hypotenuse
Since we have two sides and an angle, we can use the law of sine a /sine a = b/sine b = c/sine c
Hence a = 100 * sine 15
--------------
sine 90
and b = 100 * sine 75
---------
since 90
Hence, the area of the triangle a * b * 1/2 or
100 * sine 15 100 * sine 75 1
---------- * ----------- * -----
sine 90 sine 90 2
Let's do a little rearrangement.
100 * 100 * sine 15 * sine 75 1
---------------------------------------------- * ---
sine 90 * sine 90 2
Note that sine 90 degrees = 1
100 ^2 * sine 15 * 75 1
--------------------------------- * -------
1 * 1 2
note that sine 15 * 75 (degrees) = 0.25
100^2 * 0.25 1
------------------------' * --
1 2
as 0.25 =1/4
100^2 * 1/4 * 1/2
100^2 * 1/8 (as 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8)
100^2
---------
8
but 100 is the length of the hypotenuse
so the hypotenuse square divided by 8 is the area of a 15-75-90 degree right triangle
Of course, if you are given the two sides, we multiply them by 1/2 or ( or divide them by 2)
To get the area, but what if we are not?
PS note a= 25.888
and b= 95.59
and 25.88 x 95.59 = 2500
divided by 2 = 1250 the area
Because of symmetry, the angle x=15° or x=75°
AB=25(√6+√2) BC=25(√6-√2) AC=100
√6+√2 : √6-√2 : 4 = 75° 15° 90°
∠x=15°
learning the proportions of the std triangle 15-75-90 is priceless

My way of solution is ➡
1250 cm²= AB*BC/2
2500= AB*BC
AB= x
BC= y
⇒
x*y=2500
we can also write:
(x+y)²= x²+y²+2xy
x²+y²= c²
c= 100
c²= 10.000
⇒
(x+y)²= 10.000+2*2500
(x+y)²= 15.000
x+y= √15.000
x+y= 50√6
xy= 2500
x= 2500/y
⇒
(2500/y)+y= 50√6
2500+y²= 50√6 y
y²-50√6y+2500=0
Δ= b²-4ac
Δ= 15.000-10.000
Δ= 5000
√Δ= 50√2
y₁= (50√6+50√2)/2
y₁= 25(√6+√2)
y₂= (50√6-50√2)/2
y₂= 25(√6-√2)
x₁= 2500/y₁
x₁= 2500/25(√6+√2)
x₁= 100/(√6+√2)
x₁= 100*(√6-√2)/(√6²-√2²)
x₁= 100*(√6-√2)/(6-2)
x₁= 25*(√6-√2)
x₂= 2500/y₂
x₂= 2500/ 25(√6-√2)
x₂= 100/(√6-√2)
x₂= 100*(√6+√2)/(√6²-√2²)
x₂= 100*(√6+√2)/(6-2)
x₂= 25*(√6+√2)
tan(θ₁)= y₁/x₁
tan(θ₁)= 25(√6+√2)/25(√6-√2)
tan(θ₁)= (√6+√2)/(√6-√2)
tan(θ₁)= (√6+√2)²/(√6²-√2²)
tan(θ₁)= (6+2√12+2)/4
tan(θ₁)= (8+4√3)/4
θ₁= arctan(2+√3)
θ₁= 75°
tan(θ₂)= y₂/x₂
tan(θ₂)= 25(√6-√2)/25(√6+√2)
tan(θ₂)= (√6-√2)/(√6+√2)
tan(θ₂)= (√6-√2)²/(√6²-√2²)
tan(θ₂)= (6-2√12+2)/4
tan(θ₂)= (8-4√3)/4
θ₂= arctan(2-√3)
θ₂= 15°
so we have here 2 values for the angle x or θ value:
y₁= 25(√6+√2)
x₁= 25*(√6-√2)
⇒
θ₁= 75°
y₂= 25(√6-√2)
x₂= 25*(√6+√2)
⇒
θ₂= 15°
x=15°,75°

a₁ = 50√(2+√3) | a₂ = 50√(2-√3)
b₁ = 2500/50√(2+√3)
b₁ = 50/√(2+√3)
b₁ = 50√(2-√3)/√(2+√3)√(2-√3)
b₁ = 50√(2-√3)/√(4-3) = 50√(2-√3)
b₂ = 2500/50√(2-√3)
b₂ = 50/√(2-√3)
b₂ = 50√(2+√3)/√(2-√3)√(2+√3)
b₂ = 50√(2+√3)/√(4-3) = 50√(2+√3)
Will go with a₁ and b₁ as a > b in the figure as drawn.
sin(x) = b/100 = 50√(2-√3)/100
sin(x) = √(2-√3)/2 = √(4-2√3)/2√2
sin(x) = √(3-2√3+1)/2√2
sin(x) = √(√3-1)²/2√2
sin(x) = (√3-1)/2√2 = √3/2√2 - 1/2√2
sin(x) = (√3/2)(1/√2) - (1/2)(1/√2)
sin(x) = sin(60°)cos(45°) - cos(60°)sin(45°)
sin(x) = sin(60°-45°) = sin(15°)
x = 15°
x = 75° is also a solution (using a₂, b above) assuming b > a.
AB =a BC=b CA =c
a^2+ b^2=10000
1/2absinB =1250
ab=1250*2/sinB=2500
(a+b)^2=12500
(a-b) ^2=10000-2500=7500
From here a and b will be known.
Sin x = b/c
x=sin inverse b/c
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Pitago
Being the hypotenuse the base we can find its height =1250*2/100=25
Drawing the median from point B, BH = CH = AH = 50
Being the height the half of the median we get a 30,60,90 right triangle in which 30 is the external angle of the isosceles triangle with side equal to median by construction. So x = 15
