If in a triangle a `cos^2C/2+cos^2A/2=(3b)/2,` then find the relation between the sides of the triangle.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`a cos^(2).(C)/(2) + cos^(2).(A)/(2) = (3b)/(2)`
or `a (1 + cos C) + c (1 + cos A) = 3b`
or `a+c + (a cos C + c cos A) = 3b`
or `a + c + b = 3b` [bt the projection formula]
or `a + c = 2b`
Hence, a, b, c and in A.P.
