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:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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 $\frac{\sqrt{a^2+b^2+c^2}}{2 c}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{81}}{2}$ = $\frac{9}{2}$
