If the area of the circle = 25pi cm^2 or 78.54 cm^2 then it is impossible for the area of the triangle to be 11 cm^2 !

area of circle is greater than area of triangle. Nothing is wrong about that

The base of the triangle = 10 and the altitude = 5 therefore the area = 25 cm^2, not 11 cm^2

@Guiseppi Butel – that perpendicular need not pass through center. That will be possible only if AB=AC. Note that diameter subtends 90 degree on the circle.

@Shashank Sharma – My mistake! I was fooled by the diagram.
@Guiseppi Butel – base of the triangle is 2.2cm

@A Samuel Moses – You don't have to actually calculate it.
Thats true Sir! I got the answer wrong exactly because of that
U ar right it's not logic
If the hypotenuse = 10 then each of the other 2 sides = 5root 2 and the perimeter = 24.142135...

the sides of the triangle are 9.74 and 2.26

Yeah. What's cool though is that you can manipulate the algebra to find the desired value without ever finding either side length.
No, because then the triangle doesn't have an area of 11.
HOW AB =44
nice analysis............
But were did you know that 5 is the Radius of the Circle ???
Log in to reply
Radius is 5 because the area of the circle is 25 pi,
Now,
area of circle = 25 pi
pi r^2 = 25 pi
Divide lhs and rhs by pi
r^2 = 25
Thus, r = 5.
It has an area of 2 5 π . Recall that the formula for area is π r 2 where r is the radius.
whats the value of A and B ?????
it was quiet an easy one.just basics of geometry.....
why when 100+44 , then a+b=12
good job
I was too close.
nicely done bro
It was very easy! I did it the same way. Great Minds Think Alike! :)
I solved it in this process.
did the same thing!
Let the unknown sides be x and y. Angle extended in a semi circle with end points of diameter is 90 degrees. Thus are of right angled triangle is half the product of the sides adjacent to right angle i.e. xy/2=11 cm ^2 . Thus xy =22 cm^2. Also given πr^2 = 25 π cm^2. Thus, radius is 5cm. Thus diameter is 10cm. Then by Pythagoras's theorem, x^2 + y^2 =100............(1) and xy =22...................(2) But, (x+y)^2 = x^2 +y^2 +2xy........(3) Then, from (1), (2) and (3) (x+y)^2 = 100+44=144. Thus x+y =12. Thus, Perimeter = x+y+10=22 cm.
Areas of Circle is 3.14 x R^2 = 3.14 x 5^2 -> R = 5. So, The circle have diameter 10 cm. So a^2 + b^2 = 100 and ab/2 = 11 -> ab = 22. if (a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab = 100 + 2.22 = 144, then a + b = 12 and we have c = diameter = 10, so, the perimeter of this triagle is a + b + c = (12 + 10) cm = 22 cm. Answer : 22
for the triangle circumscribing the circle: r= (area of the triangle/ semi perimeter of triangle), so r=5, area of triangle =11, so semi perimeter = (11/5)=2.2, perimeter of triangle= 4.4
Area of the circle=25pi => radius=5=> AB=10. Angle ACB is a right angle as it is an angle on semi circle. Therefore, AC^2+BC^2=AB^2 = > AC^2+BC^2 = 100. Area of the triangle is AC BC /2 = 11 => 2 AC*BC=44. Therefore, (AC+BC)^2=100+44=144 => AC+BC=12. Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle is 12+10=22 cm.
Hmmm..
I did it in a different method,
since we can figure out the orthogonal height from vertex C to the segment AB which is =11/5
imagine another segment of length = r = 5 from vertex C to center of circle
Now this segment is either equal to orthogonal height or has a higher magnitude,
since we didn't make any assumptions based on other criteria
Now taking the cosine = Orthogonal height/r = 11/5*5
c o s − 1 ( 1 1 / 2 5 ) = 6 4 .
5*sin(64)= distance between point where orthogonal segment touches diameter from center of circle..
r + r ∗ s i n ( 6 4 ) = length of line segment from vertex A to orthogonal point.. Let this point be Y
then AY=5+4.5
AY=9.5
AC^2=AY^2 +CY^2
AC^2=9.5^2 + (11/5)^2
AC=9.75
similarly,
BC^2=BY^2+CY^2
Since BY+AY=10
BY=0.5
BC=2.25
Perimeter =BC + AC + AB
=2.25+9.75+10
=22
diameter is equal to 10 cm. and 1/2 h b=11 >> 2 h b=44------(1) and a^2+b^2=100 ------(2) adding 1 and 2 we get (h+b)^2=144 >> h+b+diameter=10+12=22.

It is obvious that the radius of the circle is five. Because the triangle has all points on the outside of the circle, with two sharing a diameter, the angle formed A B C must have degree measure 90. Thus, letting a and b be equal to a 2 + b 2 = 1 0 0 and a b = 2 2 . We want to find a + b . Expanding ( a + b ) 2 and grouping, ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + 2 a b . Thus, by substitution, ( a + b ) 2 = 1 0 0 + 4 4 ⟹ a + b = 1 2 . From here, because the hypotenuse of the triangle (the diameter) has length 10, we can conclude that the perimeter is 2 2 .
