The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angles A, B, and C of triangle ABC given the relationships between the sides and angles: \( a = 2b \) and \( A = 3B \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Relationships**: We are given: - \( a = 2b \) (where \( a \) and \( b \) are the lengths of the sides opposite angles A and B respectively) - \( A = 3B \) (where \( A \) and \( B \) are the angles of the triangle) 2. **Use the Law of Sines**: According to the Law of Sines: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} \] Substituting the values of \( a \) and \( A \): \[ \frac{2b}{\sin(3B)} = \frac{b}{\sin B} \] 3. **Simplify the Equation**: We can cancel \( b \) from both sides (assuming \( b \neq 0 \)): \[ \frac{2}{\sin(3B)} = \frac{1}{\sin B} \] This leads to: \[ 2 \sin B = \sin(3B) \] 4. **Use the Sine Triple Angle Formula**: The sine triple angle formula states: \[ \sin(3B) = 3\sin B - 4\sin^3 B \] Substituting this into our equation gives: \[ 2 \sin B = 3 \sin B - 4 \sin^3 B \] 5. **Rearranging the Equation**: Rearranging the equation: \[ 0 = 3 \sin B - 4 \sin^3 B - 2 \sin B \] This simplifies to: \[ 0 = \sin B (1 - 4 \sin^2 B) \] 6. **Finding Possible Values for \( \sin B \)**: From the equation, we have two cases: - \( \sin B = 0 \) - \( 1 - 4 \sin^2 B = 0 \) For \( \sin B = 0 \), \( B \) cannot be 0 degrees as it would not form a triangle. For \( 1 - 4 \sin^2 B = 0 \): \[ 4 \sin^2 B = 1 \implies \sin^2 B = \frac{1}{4} \implies \sin B = \frac{1}{2} \] Therefore, \( B = 30^\circ \). 7. **Finding Angle A**: Since \( A = 3B \): \[ A = 3 \times 30^\circ = 90^\circ \] 8. **Finding Angle C**: The sum of angles in a triangle is \( 180^\circ \): \[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \implies 90^\circ + 30^\circ + C = 180^\circ \] Thus: \[ C = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ \] ### Final Angles: - \( A = 90^\circ \) - \( B = 30^\circ \) - \( C = 60^\circ \) ### Summary: The angles of triangle ABC are: - \( A = 90^\circ \) - \( B = 30^\circ \) - \( C = 60^\circ \)
