Options
- A2
- Ba + b - c
- Ca + b
- Ds - c
Correct answer
C. a + b
Step-by-step solution
Using the half-angle formulas for a triangle: ( A 2 ) = (s-b)(s-c) s(s-a) ( B 2 ) = (s-a)(s-c) s(s-b) Multiplying these two expressions: ( A 2 ) ( B 2 ) = (s-b)(s-c) s(s-a) (s-a)(s-c) s(s-b) = s-c s Substituting this into the given equation: 1 + ( A 2 ) ( B 2 ) = 1 + s-c s = 2s - c s Since 2s = a + b + c , we have 2s - c = a + b . Therefore, 1 + ( A 2 ) ( B 2 ) = a + b s Comparing this with k s , we get k = a + b . Answer: a + b
