E-DM04 · A moving vertex and a fixed area

\(A=(0,0)\), \(B=(10,0)\), \(C=(t,4)\), where t is real.

Find the area of triangle ABC and explain why it does not depend on t.

[2]

Find all t for which \(AC^2+BC^2=100\).

[3]

For these positions, justify that the angle at C is a right angle and find the exact perimeter.

[3]
A variable vertex at a fixed heightTriangle with fixed base from A(0,0) to B(10,0) and variable vertex C(t,4) at height 4.A(0,0)B(10,0)C(t,4)4
The horizontal position of C varies; the diagram shows one schematic position.
