Trigonometric Equations Question 255

Question: If angles of a triangle are in the ratio of 2 : 3: 7, then the sides are in the ratio of

[MP PET 1996]

Options:

A) $ \sqrt{2}:2:(\sqrt{3}+1) $

B) $ 2:\sqrt{2}:(\sqrt{3}+1) $

C) $ \sqrt{2}:(\sqrt{3}+1):2 $

D) $ 2:(\sqrt{3}+1):\sqrt{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Obviously, the angles are $ 30^{o},45^{o},105^{o} $ .
    $ \therefore $ $ a:b:c=\sin 30^{o}:\sin 45^{o}:\sin 105^{o} $ $ =\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}:\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}:2:(\sqrt{3}+1) $ .
