In ABC , if A = 90^ , then (B - C) =
Options
- Aa^2 - c^2 a^2 + c^2
- Bc^2 - a^2 c^2 + a^2
- Cb^2 - c^2 b^2 + c^2
- Dc^2 - b^2 c^2 + b^2
Correct answer
C. b^2 - c^2 b^2 + c^2
Step-by-step solution
Given A = 90^ , ABC is a right-angled triangle with hypotenuse a . From the properties of a right-angled triangle, B = b a , B = c a , C = c a , and C = b a . Using the expansion formula for sine: (B - C) = B C - B C Substituting the trigonometric ratios: (B - C) = ( b a ) ( b a ) - ( c a ) ( c a ) (B - C) = b^2 - c^2 a^2 Using Pythagoras theorem, a^2 = b^2 + c^2 . Therefore, (B - C) = b^2 - c^2 b^2 + c^2 .
