Question
A new triangle DEF is positioned within a circle radius R such that DF is a diameter as shown in the following diagram.
In a triangle ABC, prove asinA=bsinB=csinC.
Prove that the area of the triangle ABC is 12absinC.
Given that R denotes the radius of the circumscribed circle prove that asinA=bsinB=csinC=2R.
Hence show that the area of the triangle ABC is abc4R.
Find in terms of R, the two values of (DE)2 such that the area of the shaded region is twice the area of the triangle DEF.
Using two diagrams, explain why there are two values of (DE)2.
A parallelogram is positioned inside a circle such that all four vertices lie on the circle. Prove that it is a rectangle.

sinB=hc and sinC=hb M1A1
hence h=csinB=bsinC A1
by dropping a perpendicular from B, in exactly the same way we find csinA=asinC R1
hence asinA=bsinB=csinC

area = 12ah M1A1
= 12absinC AG

since the angle at the centre of circle is twice the angle at the circumference sinA=a2R M1A1
hence asinA=2R and therefore asinA=bsinB=csinC=2R AG

area of the triangle is 12absinC M1
since sinC=c2R A1
area of the triangle is 12abc2R=abc4R AG

area of the triangle is πR26 (M1)A1
(DE)2 + (EF)2 = 4R2 M1
(DE)2 = 4R2 − (EF)2
12(DE)(EF)=πR26⇒(EF)=πR23(DE) M1A1
(DE)2=4R2−π2R49(DE)2 A1
9(DE)4−36(DE)2R2+π2R4=0 A1
(DE)2=36R2±√1296R4−36π2R418 M1
(DE)2=36R2±6R2√36−π218(=6R2±R2√36−π23) A1

∧A+∧C=180∘ (cyclic quadrilateral) R1
however ∧A=∧C (ABCD is a parallelogram) R1
∧A=∧C=90∘ A1
∧B=∧D=90∘
hence ABCD is a rectangle AG
