Question

In a triangle the sum of two sides is x and the product of the same two sides is y. If x2 - c2 = y, where c is the third side of the triangle, then the ratio of the in radius to the circum-radius of the triangle is

Options

A.
B.
C.
D.

Solution

a + b = x, ab = y, x2 - c2 = y
Now, (a + b)2 - c2 = ab
a2 + b2 - c2 = - ab

⇒ cos c = - ⇒ ∠c = 120o
2R = ⇒ R =
r = (s - c). tan
r = . √3
r =
