Properties of Triangles 1 Question 13

13. Let ABC be a triangle such that ACB=π6. If a,b and c denote the lengths of the sides opposite to A,B and C respectively. Then, the value(s) of x for which a=x2+x+1,b=x21 and c=2x+1 is (are) (2010)

(a) (2+3)

(b) 1+3

(c) 2+3

(d) 43

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 13. (b)

Solution:

  1. Using, cosC=a2+b2c22ab

32=(x2+x+1)2+(x21)2(2x+1)22(x2+x+1)(x21)

(x+2)(x+1)(x1)x+(x21)2=3(x2+x+1)(x21)

x2+2x+(x21)=3(x2+x+1)

(23)x2+(23)x(3+1)=0

(x=(2+3)\)and(x=1+3\)But(x=(2+3))

c is negative.

x=1+3 is the only solution.
