Options
- A2
- B4
- C3
- D6
Correct answer
A. 2
Step-by-step solution
Substituting the cosine rule expressions into the given equation: A = b^2+c^2-a^2 2bc , B = a^2+c^2-b^2 2ac , C = a^2+b^2-c^2 2ab 2 a b^2+c^2-a^2 2bc + 1 b a^2+c^2-b^2 2ac + 2 c a^2+b^2-c^2 2ab = a^2+3b^2+c^2 2abc The right side simplifies to a^2+b^2 abc . Equating both sides: a^2+3b^2+c^2 2abc = a^2+b^2 abc Multiplying through by 2abc and simplifying yields: b^2 + c^2 = a^2 This is the Pythagorean relation, indicating that angle A opposite side a is 90^ or 2 radians. The correct option is A .
