Solution

Construction:-

Steps of Construction:-

1. Construct an equilateral triangle Δ ABC with side 6 cm.
2. Draw perpendicular bisectors of any two sides. Let O be the point of intersection.
3. Draw a circle with centre O and radius OA or OB or OC. This gives us circumcircle equilateral triangle Δ ABC.
4. Draw the bisector of ∠C . It passes through centre of the circle O.
5. Draw a circle with radius OM. This gives us incircle of the equilateral triangle Δ ABC.

In an equilateral triangle angle bisector and median are same, also circumcentre and incentre are same. For equilateral triangle circumcentre divides the median in 2:1.

So the ratio of radii of circumcircle and incircle is 2:1.

If the point P (6, 7) divides the segment joining A(8, 9) and B(1, 2) in some ratio, find that ratio

Solution:

Point P divides segment AB in the ratio m: n.

A(8, 9) = (x1, y1), B(1, 2 ) = (x2, y2) and P(6, 7) = (x, y)

Using Section formula of internal division,

∴ 7 = `(“m”(square) – “n”(9))/(“m” + “n”)`

∴ 7m + 7n = `square` + 9n

∴ 7m – `square` = 9n – `square`

∴ `square` = 2n

∴ `”m”/”n” = square`
