The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options is true for triangle ABC, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Triangle Properties**: In triangle ABC, we know that the sum of the angles is \( A + B + C = \pi \) (or \( 180^\circ \)). 2. **Analyzing Option 1**: - The first option states: \[ b + c \cos\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) = a \sin\left(\frac{B + C}{2}\right) \] - Since \( B + C = \pi - A \), we have: \[ \sin\left(\frac{B + C}{2}\right) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi - A}{2}\right) = \cos\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) \] - Thus, the equation simplifies to: \[ b + c \cos\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) = a \cos\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) \] - Rearranging gives: \[ b + c = a \] - This is not necessarily true for all triangles, hence **Option 1 is incorrect**. 3. **Analyzing Option 2**: - The second option states: \[ b + c \cos\left(\frac{B + C}{2}\right) = a \sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) \] - Using \( B + C = \pi - A \): \[ \cos\left(\frac{B + C}{2}\right) = \sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) \] - Thus, the equation becomes: \[ b + c \sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) = a \sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) \] - Rearranging gives: \[ b + c = a \] - This is also not necessarily true for all triangles, hence **Option 2 is incorrect**. 4. **Analyzing Option 3**: - The third option states: \[ b - c \cos\left(\frac{B - C}{2}\right) = a \cos\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) \] - We can test this with an equilateral triangle where \( a = b = c \). - Substituting values leads to: \[ b - c \cdot 1 = a \cdot \frac{1}{2} \] - This does not hold true in general, hence **Option 3 is incorrect**. 5. **Analyzing Option 4**: - The fourth option states: \[ b - c \cos\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) = a \sin\left(\frac{B - C}{2}\right) \] - We can use the half-angle identities and properties of triangles to analyze this. - Testing with an equilateral triangle where \( a = b = c \): \[ 0 = 0 \] - This holds true, and further analysis shows that it can be derived from the properties of triangles, hence **Option 4 is correct**. ### Conclusion After analyzing all options, we conclude that **Option 4 is the correct statement for triangle ABC**.
