Problem Analysis

We are given a triangle that has a rhombus inscribed in it. The rhombus shares one angle with the triangle, and the opposite vertex of the rhombus divides one side of the triangle in a 1:3 ratio. The diagonals of the rhombus are given as 18 cm and 24 cm. We need to find the sides of the triangle that contain the sides of the rhombus.

Solution

Let's denote the sides of the triangle as AB, BC, and CA, and the sides of the rhombus as AD, DB, BE, EC, CF, and FA. We are given that the diagonals of the rhombus are 18 cm and 24 cm.

To find the sides of the triangle that contain the sides of the rhombus, we need to determine the lengths of AD, DB, BE, EC, CF, and FA.

Since the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the lengths of the sides of the rhombus.

Let's denote the length of AD as x. Then, using the Pythagorean theorem, we can write:

x^2 = (AD/2)^2 + (DB/2)^2 Similarly, let's denote the length of BE as y. Then, we have:

y^2 = (BE/2)^2 + (EC/2)^2 Since the opposite vertex of the rhombus divides the side of the triangle in a 1:3 ratio, we can write:

DB = 3x EC = 3y Now, we can substitute the values of DB and EC in the equations for x^2 and y^2:

x^2 = (AD/2)^2 + (3x/2)^2 y^2 = (y/2)^2 + (3y/2)^2 Simplifying these equations, we get:

x^2 = (AD^2 + 9x^2)/4 y^2 = (y^2 + 9y^2)/4 Multiplying both sides of the equations by 4, we have:

4x^2 = AD^2 + 9x^2 4y^2 = y^2 + 9y^2 Simplifying further, we get:

3x^2 = AD^2 8y^2 = y^2 From the equation 3x^2 = AD^2, we can solve for AD:

AD = sqrt(3x^2) From the equation 8y^2 = y^2, we can solve for y:

y = 0 Since y = 0, this means that the rhombus degenerates into a line segment, and the triangle degenerates into a straight line.

Therefore, the sides of the triangle that contain the sides of the rhombus have lengths of 0 cm.

Answer

The sides of the triangle that contain the sides of the rhombus have lengths of 0 cm.
