2(√3) ?

23?

Commented by ARUNG_Brandon_MBU last updated on 22/Oct/22

It's among the options.

Then the answer is 2(√3), I did it with the   bisector theorem and pythagoras, you′ll   get  a cuadratic equation, we discard one   of the solutions ( 4(√3) ) because it wouldn′t   satisfy the other equation.

Its AD bisector?

ItsADbisector?

For sure since we have BAC =60° and then two  dots there representing equal angles 30°+30°

 let AB = a, AC= c , AE = b   1. Since AD is bisector:   (a/(3(√3))) = (c/( (√3)))   a(√3) = 3(√3) c   a=3c=AB      2. △AFC has a hipotenuse of c, then    AF=(c/2) ; FC= ((c(√3))/2)     3. FB= AB−AF ⇒ FB= ((5c)/2)   FB^2  + FC^2 = (4(√3))^2    ((25c^2 )/4) + ((3c^2 )/4)= 48   c= (√((48∙4)/(28))) = ((4(√3))/( (√7))) = ((4(√(21)))/7)   4. △AHC ≅ △AFC (Angle; side; Angle)   AH = (c/2);  CH= ((c(√3))/2)   5.  AC is also bisector    ((3c)/(4(√3))) = (b/x)   b =  ((3x(√7))/7)    6. HE = AE − AH = b−(c/2)   CH^2  + HE^2 =x^2    ((3c^2 )/4) + (b−(c/2))^2 =x^2    (3/4)∙ (((4(√(21)))/7))^2  + (((3x(√7) − 2(√(21)))/7))^2 = x^2    ((36)/7) + (((3x(√7) −2(√(21)))^2 )/(49)) =x^2    7∙36 + (3x(√7) −2(√(21)) )^2 = 49x^2    14x^2  − 84x(√3) +  336=0   x_1 = 4(√3)   x_2 = 2(√3)

 if x = 4(√3) then b= ((3∙4(√3) ∙ (√7))/7) = ((12(√(21)))/7)     but AB= 3c = ((4(√(21)))/7) ∙ 3= ((12(√(21)))/7)   that also implies that AC is heigth   (bc its isosceles) and it doesnt satisfy:   AC^2  + BC^2 = AB^2

ifx=43thenb=34377=12217butAB=3c=42173=12217thatalsoimpliesthatACisheigth(bcitsisosceles)anditdoesntsatisfy:AC2+BC2=AB2
