Problem related to triangle - AMC 10B, 2019 Problem 10


The given problem is related to the calculation of area of triangle and distance between two points.

Try the problem


In a given plane, points A and B are 10 units apart. How many points C are there in the plane such that the perimeter of \triangle ABC is 50 units and the area of \triangle ABC is 100 square units?

\textbf{(A) }0\qquad\textbf{(B) }2\qquad\textbf{(C) }4\qquad\textbf{(D) }8\qquad\textbf{(E) }\text{infinitely many}

Use some hints


Notice that it does not matter where the triangle is in the 2D plane so for our easy access we can select two points A and B in any place of choice.

So we can actually select any two points A and B such that they are 10 units apart so lets the points are A(0,0) and B(10,0) , as they are 10 units apart.

Now we can select the point C such that the perimeter of the triangle is 50 units. and then we can apply the formula of area to calculate the possible positions of C.
