in triangle ABC right angled at C altitude CH and median CM trisect the right angle. if the area of triangle CHM is k then the area of triangle ABC is




Given: CM is median and CH is the altitude of the triangle ABC, CH and CM trisect the right angle, area of triangle CHM is equal to k.

To find: Area of triangle ABC

As CH and CM trisect the right angle ACBACH=HCM=MCB=30°Considering CHA and CHMCHA=CHM=90°ACH=MCH=30° CHA~CHMCHCH2=HAHM2=CACM2=AreaCHAAreaCHMAreaCHAAreaCHM=1AreaCHA=AreaCHM=k AreaCMA=2kAs we know that median of triangle divide the triangle into equal areas.AreaCMA=AreaCMB=2kAreaABC=2k+2k=4k
