Options
- A3 15
- B4 15
- C2 15
- D1 15
Correct answer
D. 1 15
Step-by-step solution
Given, In a triangle ABC , a = 2 ,   b = 3 and c = 4 , Now we know that tan A 2 = s - b s - c s s - a where s = a + b + c 2 Now using the above formula we will find the required value, So, s = 2 + 3 + 4 2 = 4 . 5 Now tan A 2 = 4 . 5 - 3 4 . 5 - 4 4 . 5 4 . 5 - 2 ⇒ tan A 2 = 1 . 5 × 0 . 5 4 . 5 × 2 . 5 ⇒ tan A 2 = 15 × 5 45 × 25 ⇒ tan A 2 = 1 15
