FInd the length

VITEEE 2015 Guidance › Co-ordinate Geometry questions › FInd the length

Given a circle with center at ' A ' which touches the X - Axis at ' B ' with radius 1 unit. ' C ' is the origin from which a tangent at ' E ' is drawn to me line through ' AB ' at ' D ' such that angle ' CBD ' = 90Â°.

The perimeter of the triangle ' CBD ' is 8 units. Then find the length of ' AD '.

using the fact that tangents frm same point have same length we can say that CB = CE.
now,

perimeter of CBD = CB+CE+ED+AD+1
=> 8 = 2CB + ED+AD+1 ....(1)

since AED is right angle triangle so using pythagoras theorum,
1 + ED² = AD² ....(2)

since CBD is right angled triangle so using pythagoras theorum,

CB² + (1+AD)² = (CB+ED)² ....(3)

you have 3 eqns. 3 unknowns which can be easily solved.

Yes , 5/3 is correct.

@Rahulm, Do you have any other method than this to calculate easily.
