如图,点P是矩形ABCD的边AD上一动点,矩形的两条边长AB、BC分别为8和15,则点P到矩形的两条对角线AC和BD的距离之和为(  ) A.17 B.7 C.12017 D.172

问题描述:

如图,点P是矩形ABCD的边AD上一动点,矩形的两条边长AB、BC分别为8和15,则点P到矩形的两条对角线AC和BD的距离之和为(  )
A. 17
B. 7
C.

120

连接OP,
∵四边形ABCD是矩形,
∴AC=BD,OA=OC=

1

AC,OB=OD=
1

BD,∠ABC=90°,
S△AOD=
1
4
S矩形ABCD
∴OA=OD=

2
AC,
∵AB=8,BC=15,
∴AC=
AB2+BC2
=
289
=17,S△AOD=
1
4
S矩形ABCD=30,
∴OA=OD=
17

∴S△AOD=S△APO+S△DPO=

(PE+PF)=30,
∴PE+PF=
120
17

∴点P到矩形的两条对角线AC和BD的距离之和是
120
17

故选C.
