If $a=2 b=8 c$ and $a+b+c=13$ then the value of $\frac{\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}}{2 c}$ is: |
$\frac{9}{2}$ $-\frac{5}{6}$ $-\frac{9}{2}$ $\frac{5}{6}$ |
$\frac{9}{2}$ |
If $a=2 b=8 c$-----(A) $a+b+c=13$ From equation A the ratio of a : b : c = 8 : 4 : 1 8x + 4x + 1x = 13 13x = 13 x = 1 Then the values of a = 8, b = 4 and c = 1 The value of $\frac{\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}}{2 c}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{8^2+4^2+1^2}}{2 × 1}$ The value of $\frac{\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}}{2 c}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{81}}{2}$ = $\frac{9}{2}$ |
