1. Identify the given information and setup the problem:
- The diagonals of convex quadrilateral BSCT meet at the midpoint M of ST.
- Lines BT and SC meet at A.
- Given lengths: AB=91, BC=98, CA=105.
- AM⊥BC.
2. **Determine the lengths BM and MC:**
- Since M is the midpoint of ST and AM⊥BC, we can use the fact that △ABM and △AMC are right triangles.
- Using the Pythagorean theorem in △ABM:
AB2=AM2+BM2⟹912=AM2+BM2
- Using the Pythagorean theorem in △AMC:
AC2=AM2+MC2⟹1052=AM2+MC2
- Subtract the first equation from the second:
1052−912=MC2−BM2
- Simplify:
(105−91)(105+91)=MC2−BM2⟹14×196=MC2−BM2⟹2744=MC2−BM2
- Let BM=x and MC=y. Then:
y2−x2=2744
- Also, from the Pythagorean theorem:
912=AM2+x2and1052=AM2+y2
- Subtracting these:
1052−912=y2−x2⟹2744=y2−x2
- Solving for x and y:
x=35andy=63
3. **Construct parallelogram BSXT:**
- Since BX bisects ST, X is on BC and MX=35, implying XC=28.
4. **Calculate the areas of △SMC and △BMT:**
- Notice that [SMC]−[BMT]=[SXC]+[SMX]−[BMT]=[SXC], because BSXT is a parallelogram.
- Since BT∥AB and BT∥SX, AB∥SX and △ABC∼△SXC.
- Therefore, SX=26 and SC=30.
5. **Calculate the area of △SXC:**
- Using the similarity ratio:
ABSX=ACSC⟹9126=10530
- The area of △ABC is:
Area=21×AB×BC×sin(∠ABC)
- Since △ABC∼△SXC, the area ratio is:
(9126)2=[ABC][SXC]
- Calculate the area of △ABC:
[ABC]=21×91×98×sin(∠ABC)
- Using the similarity ratio:
[SXC]=(9126)2×[ABC]=(9126)2×21×91×98×sin(∠ABC)
- Simplify:
[SXC]=(9126)2×91×98×sin(∠ABC)=336
The final answer is 336.
