ARITHMETIC PAPER QUESTION :- LENTHS OF THE PERPENDICULAR FROM A POINT IN THE INTERIOR OF AN EQUIL..

Answer / prem prakash gupta

The answer is (A) 48√3.

Let ABC be the Equilateral triangle & O be a point in the
interior of the triangle.

OD,OE & OF BE the respective altitudes drawn on side BC,CA
& AB.

jOIN OA,OB&OC.

Then we have three triangles inside the triangle ABC;Namely
triangle OAB,triangle OBC & triangle OAC.

Now,Area of Equilateral triangle ABC = Sum of the area of
the three triangles OAB,OBC & OAC.

AREA of triangle OBC = 1/2(BC*OE)= 1/2(x*4)
AREA of triangle OAC = 1/2(AC*OF)= 1/2(x*5)
AREA of triangle OAB = 1/2(AB*OD)= 1/2(x*3)

Where,AB = BC = CA = x

BUT,

√3/4(x2)=1/2(x*4)+1/2(x*5)+1/2(x*3)

SOLVE for x.
AND find the AREA by using the formula:

AREA of an Equilateral Triangle = √3/4 (side)2 = √3/4(x2).
