Task:
Find the equations of the sides of a triangle, given one its vertex A(3;-1), and also the equation of the bisector x-4y+10=0 and the median 6x+10y-59=0 drawn from different vertices.
Solution:
Let's find coordinates of point C.
Since BD is a median, coordinates of point D can be found as a coordinates of the middle of segment.
Let's substitute the obtained points into the equation of the median 6x+10y-59=0:
6()+10()-59=0
3хс+5ус-55=0
Since AC∩CL at point C, we find the coordinates of point C from the solution of the system
Now we have point C(10;5).
Let's make the equation of the line AC passing through point A(3;-1) and point C(10;5) by the formula:
Side AC: 6х-7у-25=0
Let's make the equation of line BC, which is inclined to line AC at the angle 2γ.
Since CL is the bisector of angle C (angle 2γ), we find tg γ at intersecting lines AC and CL
АС: 6х-7у-25=0; у=6/7х – 25/7, kAC=6/7
CL: х-4у+10=0; у=1/4х + 10/4, kCL=1/4
By the formula for the tangent of a double argument (trigonometry):
- tangent of the angle between lines AC and BC
Let us find k of the line BC from the equality:
18 – 21 kBC=28+24 kBC
kBC= -2/9
Let's make an equation of the side BC:
Equation of the BC side: 2х+9у-65=0
Since BC∩BD at point B, we find the coordinates of point B from the solution of the system:
Knowing the coordinates of point B, write the equation of side AB:
18х+13у-41=0 - equation of side АВ
