Triangles in a circunference
what about them?
|dw:1394509432056:dw|
So O is the center, and well...there are two triangles...I need to prove that the area of OPB is the same than OPA
I actually got Aopb=2senangle Aopa=2sen(pi-angle)
u may use below :- 1) semi circle angle = 90 2) median divides a triangle into exactly two equal halves
isnt the angle 180?
|dw:1394509834879:dw|
angle apb = 90
so that makes "triangle apb" a right triangle
also, "oa = ob" because they both are radii of same circle
Yep, I got that. So it is a right triangle
that makes the segment "po" a median of "triangle apb"
But I need to do demostrations comparing an equation for the area of each triangle
okay, lets find the area of each triangle
They already told me the angle in O is X...And I know the formula for the triangle is (a)(b)(sen)/2
So I got that area of OPB is (1/2)(4)(sen)=2sen And area of OPA is (1/2)(4)(sen(pi-angle))
do u mean :- area of opb = \(\large \frac{1}{2} (4) \sin (x) = 2\sin(x)\) area of opa = \(\large \frac{1}{2} (4) \sin (\pi - x) = 2\sin(\pi - x)\)
??
that looks good, actually u r done :)
look up ur trig identity sheet ! \(\sin (\pi-x) = \sin (x)\)
:O :O :O :O :O
RIGHT!!!!
Thanks, do you think you can help me a little more with this problem?
sure :)
Well...not I get this drawing|dw:1394510584156:dw|
