An Interesting Problem

Geometry Level 2

In an isosceles triangle A B C ABC , A B = A C AB = AC and A C : B C = 3 : 2 AC:BC = 3 : 2 . Let the altitudes in A B C \triangle ABC be a a , b b , and c c . If the perimeter of the triangle is 8, find 3 ( a + b + c ) 2 \dfrac{3 (a + b + c )}{\sqrt{2}} .


The answer is 14.

Perimeter of ∆=8 so semi-perimeter=4. Area=√{(4)(1)(1)(2)}=2√2. Height w.r.t side 2=2√2 and Height w.r.t sides 3=4√2/3 so a+b+c=14√2/3. Now putting the data in given equation will give ans. 14.
