Problem 19

Equilateral $\triangle ABC$ with side length $14$ is rotated about its center by angle $\theta$, where $0 < \theta < 60^{\circ}$, to form $\triangle DEF$. See the figure. The area of hexagon $ADBECF$ is $91\sqrt{3}$. What is $\tan\theta$? [asy] // Credit to shihan for this diagram. defaultpen(fontsize(13)); size(200); pair O=(0,0),A=dir(225),B=dir(-15),C=dir(105),D=rotate(38.21,O)*A,E=rotate(38.21,O)*B,F=rotate(38.21,O)*C; draw(A--B--C--A,gray+0.4);draw(D--E--F--D,gray+0.4); draw(A--D--B--E--C--F--A,black+0.9); dot(O); dot("$A$",A,dir(A)); dot("$B$",B,dir(B)); dot("$C$",C,dir(C)); dot("$D$",D,dir(D)); dot("$E$",E,dir(E)); dot("$F$",F,dir(F)); [/asy]

$\textbf{(A)}~\frac{3}{4}\qquad\textbf{(B)}~\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{11}\qquad\textbf{(C)}~\frac{4}{5}\qquad\textbf{(D)}~\frac{11}{13}\qquad\textbf{(E)}~\frac{7\sqrt{3}}{13}$

Solution #1

let O be circumcenter of the equilateral triangle

OF = $\frac{14\sqrt{3}}{3}$

2(Area(OFC) + Area (OCE)) = \[OF^2 * sin(\theta) + OF^2 * sin(120 - \theta)\] 

\[= \frac{14^2 * 3}{9} (   sin(\theta)  +  sin(120 - \theta) )\]
\[= \frac{196}{3}  (   sin(\theta)  +  sin(120 - \theta) )\]
\[= 2 * {\frac{1}{3}  } * Area  (ABCDEF) = 2* \frac{91\sqrt{3}}{3}\]

 \[sin(\theta)  +  sin(120 - \theta) = \frac{13\sqrt{3}}{14}\]
 \[sin(\theta)  +   \frac{ \sqrt{3}}{2}cos(  \theta) +\frac{ \sqrt{1}}{2}sin(  \theta) = \frac{13\sqrt{3}}{14}\]
\[\sqrt{3} sin(  \theta) + cos(  \theta) = \frac{13 }{14}\]
\[cos(  \theta)  = \frac{13 }{14}  - \sqrt{3} sin(  \theta)\]
\[\frac{169 }{49}  - \frac{26\sqrt{3} }{7} sin(  \theta)  + 4 sin(  \theta)^2 =0\]
\[sin(  \theta)  = \frac{5\sqrt{3} }{14}  or \frac{4\sqrt{3} }{7}\]

$\frac{4\sqrt{3} }{7}$ is invalid given $\theta$<60 \[cos( \theta) = \frac{11 }{14}\] \[tan( \theta) = \frac{5\sqrt{3} }{11}\]

$\boxed{B -34}$.

Solution #2

From $\triangle ABC$'s side lengths of 14, we get OF = OC = OE =\[\frac{14\sqrt{3}}{3}\] We let angle FOC = (\theta) And therefore angle EOC = 120 - (\theta)

The answer would be 3 * (Area $\triangle FOC$ + Area $\triangle COE$)

Which area $\triangle FOC$ = 0.5 * $\frac{14\sqrt{3}}{3}$^2 * sin(\theta)

And area $\triangle COE$ = 0.5 * $\frac{14\sqrt{3}}{3}$^2 * sin(120 - \theta)

Therefore the answer would be $$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) 3 * 0.5 * ($\frac{14\sqrt{3}}{3}$)^2 * (sin(\theta)+sin(120 - \theta)) = {91\sqrt{3}} \[Which\] sin(\theta)+sin(120 - \theta) = \frac{91\sqrt{3}}{98} \[So\] \frac{1}{2}cos(\theta)+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}sin(\theta) = \frac{91}{98} \[Therefore\] sin(\theta + 30) = \frac{91}{98} \[And\] cos (\theta + 30) = \frac{21\sqrt{3}}{98} \[Which\] tan(\theta + 30) = \frac{91}{21\sqrt{3}} = \frac{91\sqrt{3}}{63} \[tan(\theta) can be calculated using addition identity, which gives the answer of\] (B)\frac{5\sqrt{3} }{11} $$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
