The angular bisector of ∠ABC  intersects side AD at point M, and  the perpendicular dropped from  vertex A to side BC cuts BC at  point N so that BN=NC and  AM=2MD. Find the sides and area  S of the convex quadrilateral  ABCD if the perimeter is equal to  5+(√3) , ∠BAD=90°, ∠ABC=60° .

let x=BN=NC  ⇒AB=2x  ⇒AM=2x/(√3)  ⇒MD=AM/2=x/(√3)  AD=3x/(√3)=(√3)x  AC=AB=2x  ∠CAD=30°  DC=(√(((√3)x)^2 +(2x)^2 −2×(√3)x×2x×cos 30°))  =x(√(3+4−2×(√3)×2×((√3)/2)))=x  P_(ABCD) =(5+(√3))x=5+(√3)  ⇒x=1  S_(ABCD) =S_(ABC) +S_(ADC) =(1/2)×2×2×((√3)/2)+(1/2)×(√3)×1=(3/2)(√3)

$$\mathrm{let}\:\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{BN}=\mathrm{NC} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{2x} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{AM}=\mathrm{2x}/\sqrt{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{MD}=\mathrm{AM}/\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{x}/\sqrt{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{AD}=\mathrm{3x}/\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}=\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{x} \\ $$$$\mathrm{AC}=\mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{2x} \\ $$$$\angle\mathrm{CAD}=\mathrm{30}° \\ $$$$\mathrm{DC}=\sqrt{\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left(\mathrm{2x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}×\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\mathrm{x}×\mathrm{2x}×\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{30}°} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{x}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{4}−\mathrm{2}×\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}×\mathrm{2}×\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}}}=\mathrm{x} \\ $$$$\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{ABCD}} =\left(\mathrm{5}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\right)\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{5}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{ABCD}} =\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{ABC}} +\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{ADC}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{2}×\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}×\mathrm{1}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$

S_(ADC) =(1/2)AD×CD=(1/2)×(√3)×1  so  S_(ABCD) =((3(√3))/2)  .  thanks sir, little error of yours is  due to diagram, my mistake; ∠ADC  dont appear 90° in the diagram.

$$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{ADC}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{AD}×\mathrm{CD}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}×\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{so}\:\:\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{ABCD}} =\frac{\mathrm{3}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\:. \\ $$$$\mathrm{thanks}\:\mathrm{sir},\:\mathrm{little}\:\mathrm{error}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{yours}\:\mathrm{is} \\ $$$$\mathrm{due}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{diagram},\:\mathrm{my}\:\mathrm{mistake};\:\angle\mathrm{ADC} \\ $$$$\mathrm{dont}\:\mathrm{appear}\:\mathrm{90}°\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{diagram}. \\ $$

you are right sir.  i made a mistake.

$$\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{right}\:\mathrm{sir}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{i}\:\mathrm{made}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{mistake}. \\ $$

Is ∠ADC = 90° is to be given or to be  calculated?

$$\mathrm{Is}\:\angle{ADC}\:=\:\mathrm{90}°\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{be}\:\mathrm{given}\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{be} \\ $$$$\mathrm{calculated}? \\ $$

Commented by mrW1 last updated on 14/Jul/17

∠ADC = 90° is a calculated result,  since AC=2, AD=(√3) and ∠CAD=30°.

$$\angle{ADC}\:=\:\mathrm{90}°\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{calculated}\:\mathrm{result}, \\ $$$$\mathrm{since}\:\mathrm{AC}=\mathrm{2},\:\mathrm{AD}=\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\:\mathrm{and}\:\angle\mathrm{CAD}=\mathrm{30}°. \\ $$
