draw AH altitude on BC.
ReplyDeletename S point D meet BC, P point D meet AC
from P 325 => AH = 4r = 4∙ 17 = 68
AH∙BC = AC∙BP ( the same area of ABC, express two time )
68∙(5/7)AC = AC∙BP =>
BP = 340/7 (1)
▲DSB ~ ▲PBC => x/BD = (1/2)AC/(5/7)AC
x/BD = 7/10 => BP/x = 17/7 => x/BP = 7/17
x = (7/17)∙BP substitute (1)
x = (7/17)∙(340/7)
x = 20
Once we've AH=4*17=68, we can also say that x = Inradius of Tr. ABC= Area(Tr. ABC)/semiperimeter =(68/2)*(5b/7)/((5b/7+5b/7+b)/2) which directly gives x=20
