If (a costheta1,asintheta1),(acostheta2,...

If `(a costheta_1,asintheta_1),(acostheta_2,a sintheta_2)`, and `(acostheta_3a sintheta_3)` represent the vertces of an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle. Then.

A

`costheta_1+costheta_2+costheta+3=0`

B

`sintheta_1+sintheta_2+sin theta_3=0`

C

`tantheta_1+tantheta_2+tantheta_3=0`

D

`cottheta_1+cottheta_2+cottheta_3=0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B
Vertices `(a cos theta_1,a sintheta_1),(acostheta_2,a sintheta_2)`, and origin is the circumcenter (centroid) of circumcircle. Therefore, the coordinates of the centroid are
`((a(costheta_1+costheta_2+costheta_3))/(3),(a(sintheta_1,+sintheta_2+sintheta_3))/(3))`
But as the centroid is the origin (0,0) we have `cos theta_1+costheta_2+costheta_3=0`
and `sin theta_1+sintheta_2+sintheta_3=0`
