Correct answer: 16
- Given side of the rectangle
One side has endpoints
So, Hence the length of this side is
- Rectangle inscribed in a circle
A rectangle inscribed in a circle has its diagonals as diameters of the circle. Also, opposite side is parallel and equal to .
Let the other side vector be . Since adjacent sides of a rectangle are perpendicular, So, (2,4)\cdot(p,q)=0 \implies 2p+4q=0 \implies p+2q=0. \tag{1}
- Use the given diameter line
A diagonal of the rectangle is a diameter of the circumcircle. The given diameter lies on the line
So one of the diagonals of the rectangle must lie on this line.
Check endpoints:
- For :
- For :
Thus side is not on the line, so the diameter line must be along diagonal or .
Take diagonal . Then So,
Since diagonal lies along the line , its direction vector must be parallel to that line.
The line has direction vector .
Hence, (2+p,4+q)=\lambda(1,2). \tag{2}
From (2), 4+q=2(2+p)=4+2p \implies q=2p. \tag{3}
Using (1): Substitute : which is impossible for a rectangle.
So is not the diameter on the given line.
- Take the other diagonal on the given line
Now, Thus,
Since lies along the given diameter line, its direction vector is parallel to : (p-2,q-4)=\lambda(1,2). \tag{4} So, q-4=2(p-2)=2p-4 \implies q=2p. \tag{5}
Again from perpendicularity, Substitute : again impossible.
So instead of only using direction, we should use the fact that the diameter line passes through the center, i.e. the midpoint of a diagonal.
- Center of rectangle lies on the given diameter
The center of the rectangle is the midpoint of diagonal (or ). Let with perpendicularity condition 2p+4q=0 \implies p=-2q. \tag{6}
Vertices are:
Center of rectangle:
Since the given line is a diameter of the circle, it must pass through the center : Simplify: p-\frac q2+4=0. \tag{7}
Using (6), : Then
So,
=\sqrt{\frac{256+64}{25}}=\sqrt{\frac{320}{25}}=\frac{8}{\sqrt5}.$$ 6. **Area of the rectangle** Area $$=AB\cdot AD=(2\sqrt5)\left(\frac{8}{\sqrt5}\right)=16.$$ ## Final Answer $$\boxed{16}$$More from Circle
