If in a Delta A B C ,cos^2A+cos^2B+cos^...

If in a ` Delta A B C ,cos^2A+cos^2B+cos^2C=1,` prove that the triangle is right angled.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is given that `cos ^{2} {~A}+cos ^{2} {~B}+cos ^{2} {C}=1`, then,
`cos ^{2} {~A}+(1-sin ^{2} {~B})+cos ^{2} {C}=1`
`(cos ^{2} A-sin ^{2} B)+1+cos ^{2} C=1`
`1+cos (A+B) cos (A-B)+cos ^{2} C=1 `
`1+cos (180-C) cos (A-B)+cos ^{2} C=1`
`1-cos C cos (A-B)+cos ^{2} C=1`
`-cos C(cos (A-B)-cos C)=0`
`cos C(cos (A-B)-cos (180-(A+B)))=0`
