We know,
Area of triangle ( A ) = 2 1 . B C . A B . sin B
Therefore,
3 5 = 2 1 ( x − 1 ) ( x + 3 ) sin 3 0 °
( x − 1 ) ( x + 3 ) = 3 5 × 2 × 2
x 2 + 2 x − 3 = 1 4 0
x 2 + 2 x − 1 4 3 = 0
Now , its roots are ,
x = 2 a − b ± b 2 − 4 a c
x = 2 ( 1 ) − 2 ± 2 2 − 4 ( 1 ) ( − 1 4 3 )
x = 2 − 2 ± 4 + 5 7 2
x = 2 − 2 ± 2 4
Thus , x = 1 1 , − 1 3 .
Here x = − 1 3 is R e j e c t e d because then the sides will be N e g a t i v e .
Therefore , x = 1 1 .
Thus , the B C and A B are 1 0 and 1 4 .
Sum of A B + B C , = 1 0 + 1 4 = 2 4
