Quantitative Aptitude - Geometry - Triangles
Question
Let P be an interior point of a right-angled isosceles triangle ABC with hypotenuse AB. If the perpendicular distance of P from each of AB, BC, and CA is 4 (√2 - l) cm, then the area, in sq cm, of the triangle ABC is
Answer
16
Solution
From CAT 2017 - Quantitative Aptitude - Geometry - Triangles, we can see that,
PQ = PR = PS = 4(√2-1)
CS = PR
(PC)^2 = (PS)^2 + (CS)^2
On solving, we get, PC = 4√2(â

Question
Let ABC be a right-angled triangle with BC as the hypotenuse. Lengths of AB and AC are 15 km and 20 km, respectively. The minimum possible time, in minutes, required to reach the hypotenuse from A at a speed of 30 km per hour is
Answer
24
Solution
As per the question from CAT 2017 - Quantitative Aptitude - Geometry - Triangles,
BC^2 = AB^2 + AC^2 = 625
BC = 25

Slot -2 – Quantitative Aptitude – Geometry - Triangles – On a triangle ABC, a circle with diameter BC
On a triangle ABC, a circle with diameter BC is drawn, intersecting AB and AC at points P and Q, respectively. If the lengths of AB, AC, and CP are 30 cm, 25 cm, and 20 cm respectively, then the length of BQ, in cm, is?
Answer: 24 cm
Solution:
As CP is perpendicular to AB and BQ is perpendicular to AC. So
AB×CP=AC×BQ
