JEE Main2012MathematicsProperties of TrianglesActual
If in a triangle A B C, b+c 11 = c+a 12 = a+b 13 , then A is equal to
Options
- A5 / 7
- B1 / 5
- C35 / 19
- D19 / 35
Correct answer
B. 1 / 5
Step-by-step solution
Let b+c 11 = c+a 12 = a+b 13 =K in a triangle A B C . b+c=11 K, c+a=12 K, a+b=13 K On solving these, we get a=7 K, b=6 K, c=5 K Now we know, aligned & A= b^2+c^2-a^2 2 b c & = 36 K^2+25 K^2-49 K^2 2(6 K) 5 K = 1 5 aligned
