LAW OF COSINES AND SINES WORKSHEET

(1)  In a triangle ABC, if sin A/sin C = sin(A − B)/sin(B − C), prove that a², b², c² are in Arithmetic Progression. 

Solution

(2) The angles of a triangle ABC, are in Arithmetic Progression and if b : c = √3 : √2, find ∠A.

Solution

(3)  In a triangle ABC, if cos C = sin A / 2 sin B, show that the triangle is isosceles.    Solution

(4)  In a triangle ABC, prove that sin B/sinC  =  (c − a cosB)/(b − a cosC)         Solution

(5)  In a triangle ABC, prove that a cosA + b cosB + c cosC = 2a sinB sinC.          Solution

(6)  In a triangle ABC, ∠A = 60°. Prove that b + c = 2a cos (B − C)/2       Solution

In a triangle ABC, prove the following

(i) a sin (A/2 + B) = (b + c) sin A/2            Solution

(ii) a(cos B + cos C) = 2(b + c) sin² A/2      Solution

(iii) (a² − c²) / b² = sin(A − C) / sin(A + C)   Solution

(iv)  a sin(B − C)/(b² − c²) = b sin(C − A)/c² − a² = c sin(A − B)/(a² − b²)         Solution

(v) (a + b)/(a − b) = tan (A + B)/2 cot (A − B)/2    Solution

(8)  In a triangle ABC, prove that (a² − b² + c²) tanB = (a² + b² − c²) tanC.    Solution

(9)  An Engineer has to develop a triangular shaped park with a perimeter 120 m in a village. The park to be developed must be of maximum area. Find out the dimensions of the park.    Solution

(10)  A rope of length 12 m is given. Find the largest area of the triangle formed by this rope and find the dimensions of the triangle so formed         Solution
