Math Problem Statement

Solución del problema

Solution

To solve the problem, let's analyze the information given:

  • We have a cyclic quadrilateral ABCDABCD with sides AB=7AB = 7, BC=15BC = 15, CD=15CD = 15, and AD=25AD = 25.
  • We need to find the area of triangle ABCABC.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Recognize that the quadrilateral is cyclic: A quadrilateral is cyclic if a circle can be circumscribed around it, meaning all four vertices lie on a circle. This implies the opposite angles of the quadrilateral add up to 180180^\circ.

  2. Apply the Ptolemy's Theorem for cyclic quadrilaterals: Ptolemy's Theorem states that for a cyclic quadrilateral ABCDABCD:
