The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the area of a triangle with angles of \(30^\circ\) and \(45^\circ\) and an included side of \((\sqrt{3} + 1)\) cm. We will use the formula for the area of a triangle based on two sides and the included angle. ### Step 1: Identify the angles and the included side Given: - Angle A = \(30^\circ\) - Angle B = \(45^\circ\) - Included side (between angles A and B) = \(c = \sqrt{3} + 1\) cm ### Step 2: Calculate the third angle Using the property that the sum of angles in a triangle is \(180^\circ\): \[ \text{Angle C} = 180^\circ - (30^\circ + 45^\circ) = 180^\circ - 75^\circ = 105^\circ \] ### Step 3: Use the area formula The area \(A\) of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times a \times b \times \sin(C) \] Where \(a\) and \(b\) are the sides adjacent to angle \(C\), and \(C\) is the included angle. ### Step 4: Apply the Law of Sines to find sides \(a\) and \(b\) Using the Law of Sines: \[ \frac{a}{\sin(A)} = \frac{b}{\sin(B)} = \frac{c}{\sin(C)} \] We can express \(a\) and \(b\) in terms of \(c\): \[ a = c \cdot \frac{\sin(A)}{\sin(C)} \quad \text{and} \quad b = c \cdot \frac{\sin(B)}{\sin(C)} \] Substituting the known values: - \(A = 30^\circ\), \(B = 45^\circ\), \(C = 105^\circ\), and \(c = \sqrt{3} + 1\): \[ a = (\sqrt{3} + 1) \cdot \frac{\sin(30^\circ)}{\sin(105^\circ)} \quad \text{and} \quad b = (\sqrt{3} + 1) \cdot \frac{\sin(45^\circ)}{\sin(105^\circ)} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the sine values Using known sine values: - \(\sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2}\) - \(\sin(45^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) - \(\sin(105^\circ) = \sin(60^\circ + 45^\circ) = \sin(60^\circ)\cos(45^\circ) + \cos(60^\circ)\sin(45^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}\) ### Step 6: Substitute back to find \(a\) and \(b\) Substituting the sine values into the equations for \(a\) and \(b\): \[ a = (\sqrt{3} + 1) \cdot \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}} = (\sqrt{3} + 1) \cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3} + 1} = \sqrt{2} \] \[ b = (\sqrt{3} + 1) \cdot \frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}} = (\sqrt{3} + 1) \cdot \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} + 1} = 2 \] ### Step 7: Calculate the area Now substituting \(a\), \(b\), and \(\sin(105^\circ)\) into the area formula: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \sqrt{2} \cdot 2 \cdot \sin(105^\circ) = \sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2} \] ### Conclusion Thus, we have shown that the area of the triangle is: \[ A = \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{3} + 1) \]
