The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of sin A in triangle ABC given the sides a, c, and angle A, along with two values of the third side b (b1 and b2), where b2 = 2b1. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Information**: - We have a triangle ABC with sides a, b, and c. - We know angle A and the sides a and c. - We have two values for side b: b1 and b2, where b2 = 2b1. 2. **Using the Cosine Rule**: The cosine rule states: \[ b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cdot \cos A \] We can apply this for both b1 and b2: - For b1: \[ b1^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cdot \cos A \quad (1) \] - For b2: \[ b2^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cdot \cos A \quad (2) \] 3. **Substituting b2 = 2b1**: From the second equation (2), substituting b2: \[ (2b1)^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cdot \cos A \] This simplifies to: \[ 4b1^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cdot \cos A \quad (3) \] 4. **Setting Up the Equations**: Now we have two equations: - From (1): \[ b1^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cdot \cos A \] - From (3): \[ 4b1^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cdot \cos A \] 5. **Equating the Two Expressions**: From (1) and (3): \[ 4(a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cdot \cos A) = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cdot \cos A \] Rearranging gives: \[ 4b1^2 = 3(a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cdot \cos A) \] 6. **Finding the Value of cos A**: Rearranging the equation: \[ 3b1^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cdot \cos A \] This implies: \[ 2ac \cdot \cos A = a^2 + c^2 - 3b1^2 \] Thus: \[ \cos A = \frac{a^2 + c^2 - 3b1^2}{2ac} \] 7. **Finding sin A**: Using the identity \( \sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1 \): \[ \sin^2 A = 1 - \cos^2 A \] Substitute \( \cos A \): \[ \sin^2 A = 1 - \left( \frac{a^2 + c^2 - 3b1^2}{2ac} \right)^2 \] 8. **Final Expression for sin A**: Taking the square root gives: \[ \sin A = \sqrt{1 - \left( \frac{a^2 + c^2 - 3b1^2}{2ac} \right)^2} \]
