With usual notations, the perimeter of a triangle ABC is 6 times the arithmetic mean of sine of its angles. If a=1 , then A =
Options
- A6
- B3
- C2
- D2 3
Correct answer
A. 6
Step-by-step solution
Let the sides of the triangle be a , b , c with opposite angles A , B , C respectively, and let R be the circumradius. The perimeter equals six times the arithmetic mean of the sines of the angles: a + b + c = 6 A + B + C 3 = 2( A + B + C) . By the Law of Sines, a = 2R A , b = 2R B , c = 2R C . Substituting gives: 2R( A + B + C) = 2( A + B + C) . Since A + B + C > 0 for any triangle, we cancel these terms to obtain 2R = 2 , hence R = 1 . Given a = 1 , applying the Law of Sines again yields 1 = 2R A = 2 1 A , so A =
