Question

How can i find area of abd triangle. .............​

Answer 1

Answer:

  6 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The attachment shows the figure redrawn to scale, along with helpful semicircle O with diameter EB. Trig relations can be used to find the area of triangle ADB. The relation between an inscribed angle and its corresponding central angle is also helpful.

angles

Any right triangle can be inscribed in a semicircle whose diameter is the hypotenuse. Accordingly, we have constructed semicircle O whose center is the midpoint of EB. Hence its radius is EB/2 = 4/2 = 2.

Then angle EBD is an inscribed angle, hence half the measure of central angle EOD. Since ∠EOD is double the measure of ∠EBD, it is congruent to ∠EBC, which is also double the measure of ∠EBD. We have called the measure of this double angle θ. Its complement is the angle marked β.

segments

The fact that angles EOD and EBC are congruent means that segments OD and BC are parallel. Segment BC is the altitude of ΔADB with respect to base AD.

The tangent ratio is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Applying that to angle β, we have

  tan(β) = OD/AD   [eqn 1]

  tan(β) = BC/AC   [eqn 2]

These two relations can be solved for the measures of AD and BC, which we need in order to find the area of ΔADB.

area

Equation [eqn 1] tells us ...

  AD = OD/tan(β)

Equation [eqn 2] tells us ...

  BC = AC·tan(β)

The area of ΔADB is ...

  Area = 1/2bh

  Area = 1/2(AD)(BC) = 1/2(OD/tan(β))·(AC·tan(β))

  Area = 1/2(OD)(AC) . . . . . . factors tan(β) cancel

The length of AC is given as 6, and we know OD = 2, so the area is ...

  Area = 1/2(2)(6) = 6

The area of triangle ADB is 6 square units.
