In this problem, we have a triangle ABC with a semicircle inside it. The semicircle has diameter DE, where D is on side AB and E is on side AC. We're given that angle BAC is 75 degrees, angle ABC is 45 degrees, and BC equals 26 meters. We need to find the radius of the semicircle. Let's start by analyzing the triangle. We need to find the height of triangle ABC from vertex A to side BC. Using the law of sines and the given angles, we can calculate this height. The height h equals BC times sine of angle A divided by 2 times sine of angle B times sine of angle C, all multiplied by sine of angle B times sine of angle C. Substituting our values, we get h equals 26 times sine of 75 degrees divided by 2, which gives us approximately 12.56 meters. For step 2, we need to find the distance from the center of the semicircle to side BC. Notice that triangle ADE is similar to triangle ABC. Since points D and E are positioned at 0.6 of the way from A to B and A to C respectively, we can calculate the ratio k between DE and BC. This ratio is approximately 0.4. The distance d from the center of the semicircle to BC equals the height h times one minus k. Substituting our values, we get d equals 12.56 times 0.6, which is approximately 7.54 meters. In the final step, we calculate the radius R. The radius is related to two key measurements: the distance d from the center to BC, which we found to be about 7.54 meters, and the length of diameter DE. Since DE is approximately 0.4 times BC, DE equals 10.4 meters. Using the Pythagorean theorem, R squared equals the square of half the diameter plus the square of d. This gives us R squared equals 5.2 squared plus 7.54 squared, which equals 83.89. Taking the square root, we get R approximately 9.16 meters. This can be simplified to 3 plus square root of 3. Therefore, option 1 is the correct answer. Let's summarize what we've learned. In triangle ABC with angles of 75, 45, and 60 degrees, we found the radius of a semicircle with diameter DE. In step 1, we calculated the height of the triangle to be approximately 12.56 meters. In step 2, we found the distance from the center of the semicircle to side BC, which was about 7.54 meters. In step 3, using the Pythagorean theorem, we calculated that the radius equals 3 plus square root of 3. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. This problem demonstrates how geometric relationships and trigonometry can be used to find measurements in complex figures.
