In a △ABC with sides a=6cm,b=? and c=?  area is 270cm^2 .And if   midline of the △ is 7 cm  find the value of sides  b and c.    Please solve this with a little  explanation.

∵ a=6cm  and the midline is 7 cm   ∴ the midline must be parallal to b or c  ∴ b or c = 14 cm and you may consider any of the  b or c side It does′nt affect the overall calculation.
$$\because\:\mathrm{a}=\mathrm{6cm}\:\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{midline}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{7}\:\mathrm{cm}\: \\ $$$$\therefore\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{midline}\:\mathrm{must}\:\mathrm{be}\:\mathrm{parallal}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{b}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{c} \\ $$$$\therefore\:\mathrm{b}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{c}\:=\:\mathrm{14}\:\mathrm{cm}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{may}\:\mathrm{consider}\:\mathrm{any}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the} \\ $$$$\mathrm{b}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{c}\:\mathrm{side}\:\mathrm{It}\:\mathrm{does}'\mathrm{nt}\:\mathrm{affect}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{overall}\:\mathrm{calculation}. \\ $$

Question lead to a cotradiction thing  Indeed,the midpoint l  must be //b or  //c and then b=2×7=14 cm or  c=2×7 cm =14 cm  i)If l//b then b=14 cm and S_(ΔABC) =(1/2)absinC  =((7×6×sinC)/2)=21sinC≤21<<270 (cm^2 )  ii)If l//c thi c=2l=14(cm)  ⇒S_(ΔABC) =((acsinB)/2)=21sinB≤21<<270  In  other words,there isn′t exist   any triangle that satisfying the   conditions of given problem!
