Limit of triangle in a circle

Calculus Level 5

A B C \triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle inscribed in a circle of radius 10 10 . If A B = A C AB=AC , then evaluate lim h 0 ϕ P 3 \displaystyle \lim_{h \to 0} \frac {\phi}{P^{3}} , where h h is altitude from point A A to B C BC , ϕ \phi is area of triangle and P P is perimeter of triangle. If the answer is X Y \dfrac {X}{Y} , then find the value of X Y XY


The answer is 1280.

Very nice problem. I solved this by substituting trigonometric identities and functions, and it was extremely messy LOL
