Let P be the point on hypotenuse of a triangle. ABC, t angle at B.

Which is at distance a& b from the sides of the triangle.

Let < BAC = < MPC = Ø.

Then, in… ΔANP,

tan3θ=ab

tanθ=(ab)13.

At tan Ø = (ab)13,

d2q?dθ2=+ve.>0. { Øall trigonometric fxn are + ve in Ist quadrant}.

So, z is least for tanØ = (ab)13.

As, Sec2Ø = 1 + tan2Ø = 1 + (ab)23. = b23+a23b23.

secØ = [b23+a23b23]12 = (a23+b23)12b13.

And tan2Ø = 1cot2θ

cot2Ø = (ab)23

And cose

C D = ( 1 0 + x 2 ) 2 ( 1 0 x 2 ) 2 = 2 1 0 | x |

Area 

= 1 2 × C D × A B = 1 2 × 2 1 0 | x | ( 2 0 2 x 2 )

1 0 x 2 = 2 x

3x2 = 10

 x = k

3k2 = 10

From option let it be isosceles where AB = AC then

x = r 2 ( h r ) 2            

r 2 h 2 r 2 + 2 r h

x = 2 h r h 2 . . . . . . . . ( i )

 Now ar ( Δ A B C ) = Δ = 1 2 B C × A L

Δ = 1 2 × 2 2 h r a 2 × h        

then  x = 2 × 3 r 2 × r 9 r 2 4 = 3 2 r f r o m ( i )

B C = 3 r    

So A B = h 2 + x 2 = 9 r 2 4 + 3 r 2 4 = 3 r .

Hence Δ be equilateral having each side of length 3 r .
