Question : If two medians BE and CF of a triangle ABC, intersect each other at G and if BG = CG, $\angle$BGC = $120^{\circ}$, BC = 10 cm, then the area of the triangle ABC is:
Option 1: $50\sqrt{3}$ $cm^2$
Option 2: $60$ $cm^2$
Option 3: $25$ $cm^2$
Option 4: $25\sqrt{3}$ $cm^2$
Correct Answer: $25\sqrt{3}$ $cm^2$
Solution : In $\triangle$ BGC, BG = CG, $\angle$BGC = $120^{\circ}$, BC = 10 cm $\triangle$ BGC is an isosceles triangle. ⇒ $\angle$GBC = $\angle$GCB Sum of angles of a triangle = $180^{\circ}$ $\angle$GBC + $\angle$GCB + $\angle$BGC = $180^{\circ}$ $2\angle$GBC = $180^{\circ}-120^{\circ}$ = $60^{\circ}$ $\angle$GBC = $\frac{60^{\circ}}{2}$ = $30^{\circ}$ GD $\perp$ BC $\angle$BGD = $\angle$CGD = $60^{\circ}$ $\cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{BD}{BG}$ ⇒ BG = $5 × \frac{2}{\sqrt3}$ = $\frac{10}{\sqrt3}$ ⇒ GD = BG × $\sin 30^{\circ}$ = $\frac{10}{\sqrt3}$ × $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{5}{\sqrt3}$ Since G is the centroid of $\triangle$ABC, AG : GD = 2 :1 AD : GD = 3 : 1 AD = 3 ×$\frac{5}{\sqrt3}$ = $\frac{15}{\sqrt3}$ Since AD is the altitude of $\triangle$ABC, Area of $\triangle$ABC = $\frac{1}{2} × BC × AD = \frac{1}{2}×10×\frac{15}{\sqrt3} = \frac{75}{\sqrt3} = 25\sqrt3 \;cm^2$ Hence, the correct answer is $25\sqrt3$ $cm^2$.
