The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angles A and B in triangle ABC given that \( \frac{a}{b} = 2 + \sqrt{3} \) and \( \angle C = 60^\circ \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Use the Angle Sum Property of a Triangle**: \[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \] Given \( C = 60^\circ \): \[ A + B + 60^\circ = 180^\circ \] Therefore, \[ A + B = 120^\circ \] **Hint**: Remember that the sum of angles in a triangle is always \( 180^\circ \). 2. **Apply the Law of Sines**: According to the Law of Sines: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} \] From the given ratio \( \frac{a}{b} = 2 + \sqrt{3} \), we can express this as: \[ \frac{\sin A}{\sin B} = 2 + \sqrt{3} \] **Hint**: The Law of Sines relates the sides of a triangle to the sines of its angles. 3. **Express \(\sin A\) in terms of \(\sin B\)**: Let \( \sin A = (2 + \sqrt{3}) \sin B \). **Hint**: Use the relationship between the sides and angles to express one sine in terms of the other. 4. **Use the Sine Addition Formula**: Since \( A + B = 120^\circ \), we can use the sine of the sum: \[ \sin(120^\circ - B) = \sin A \] Therefore, \[ \sin A = \sin(120^\circ - B) = \sin 120^\circ \cos B - \cos 120^\circ \sin B \] Knowing \( \sin 120^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \) and \( \cos 120^\circ = -\frac{1}{2} \), we have: \[ \sin A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cos B + \frac{1}{2} \sin B \] **Hint**: Use trigonometric identities to express angles in terms of sine and cosine. 5. **Set the two expressions for \(\sin A\) equal**: \[ (2 + \sqrt{3}) \sin B = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cos B + \frac{1}{2} \sin B \] Rearranging gives: \[ (2 + \sqrt{3} - \frac{1}{2}) \sin B = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cos B \] **Hint**: Combine like terms and isolate \(\sin B\) and \(\cos B\). 6. **Substitute \(\sin B\) and \(\cos B\)**: Using the identity \(\sin^2 B + \cos^2 B = 1\), substitute \(\cos B\) in terms of \(\sin B\) and solve for \(\sin B\). **Hint**: Use Pythagorean identities to express one trigonometric function in terms of another. 7. **Solve the resulting equations**: After substituting and simplifying, you will find values for \( A \) and \( B \): \[ A = 105^\circ, \quad B = 15^\circ \] **Hint**: Check your calculations to ensure that both angles satisfy the triangle's angle sum property. ### Final Answer: Thus, the angles are: \[ \boxed{A = 105^\circ, B = 15^\circ} \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the angles A and B in triangle ABC given that \( \frac{a}{b} = 2 + \sqrt{3} \) and \( \angle C = 60^\circ \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Use the Angle Sum Property of a Triangle**: \[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \] ...
