JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Trigonometric Equations Question Bank Relation between sides and angles, Solutions of triangles

  • question_answer
    Area of the triangle is \[10\sqrt{3}\]sq. cm, angle \[C={{60}^{o}}\]and its perimeter is 20 cm, then side c will be

    A) 5

    B) 7

    C) 8

    D) 10

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\Delta =10\sqrt{3}\] \[\Delta =\frac{1}{2}ab\sin C\Rightarrow ab=20\sqrt{3}\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}=40\] ?.. (i) Also \[a+b+c=20\]or \[a+b=(20-c)\] Now, \[\cos C=\frac{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}}{2ab}=\frac{1}{2}\] Þ \[{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}=ab\] Þ \[{{(a+b)}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}=ab+2ab=3ab\] Þ \[{{(20-c)}^{2}}-{{c}^{2}}=3(40)\] Þ \[-40c+400=120\Rightarrow c=7\].
