In a triangle ABC with usual notations if, ( B - C 2 )=x ~A 2 , then x=
Options
- Ac-a c+a
- Ba-b a+b
- Cb-c b+c
- Da+b a-b
Correct answer
C. b-c b+c
Step-by-step solution
Using Napier's Analogy, the trigonometric identity for ( B-C 2 ) relates sides and angles as ( B-C 2 ) = b-c b+c A 2 . The given equation ( B-C 2 ) = x A 2 matches this form. Equating the expressions for ( B-C 2 ) yields x A 2 = b-c b+c A 2 . Since A 2 0 for any triangle angle A (0, ) , division gives x = b-c b+c . Final answer: C
