The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \(\frac{\cos A \cdot \cos B \cdot \cos C}{\cos^2 A + \cos^2 B + \cos^2 C}\) given the conditions about the orthocenter and the lengths from the orthocenter to the vertices of triangle \(ABC\). ### Step 1: Define the lengths from the orthocenter Let: - \(AH = 2R \cos A\) - \(BH = 2R \cos B\) - \(CH = 2R \cos C\) ### Step 2: Use the given product of lengths We are given that: \[ AH \cdot BH \cdot CH = 3 \] Substituting the expressions we defined: \[ (2R \cos A)(2R \cos B)(2R \cos C) = 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ 8R^3 \cos A \cos B \cos C = 3 \] Thus, we can express \(\cos A \cos B \cos C\) as: \[ \cos A \cos B \cos C = \frac{3}{8R^3} \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 3: Use the given sum of squares of lengths We are also given: \[ AH^2 + BH^2 + CH^2 = 7 \] Substituting the expressions: \[ (2R \cos A)^2 + (2R \cos B)^2 + (2R \cos C)^2 = 7 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4R^2 (\cos^2 A + \cos^2 B + \cos^2 C) = 7 \] Thus, we can express \(\cos^2 A + \cos^2 B + \cos^2 C\) as: \[ \cos^2 A + \cos^2 B + \cos^2 C = \frac{7}{4R^2} \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 4: Substitute into the main expression Now we substitute Equations 1 and 2 into the expression we want to evaluate: \[ \frac{\cos A \cos B \cos C}{\cos^2 A + \cos^2 B + \cos^2 C} = \frac{\frac{3}{8R^3}}{\frac{7}{4R^2}} \] This simplifies to: \[ = \frac{3}{8R^3} \cdot \frac{4R^2}{7} = \frac{3 \cdot 4}{8 \cdot 7} \cdot \frac{1}{R} = \frac{12}{56R} = \frac{3}{14R} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \(\frac{\cos A \cdot \cos B \cdot \cos C}{\cos^2 A + \cos^2 B + \cos^2 C}\) is: \[ \frac{3}{14R} \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \(\frac{\cos A \cdot \cos B \cdot \cos C}{\cos^2 A + \cos^2 B + \cos^2 C}\) given the conditions about the orthocenter and the lengths from the orthocenter to the vertices of triangle \(ABC\). ### Step 1: Define the lengths from the orthocenter Let: - \(AH = 2R \cos A\) - \(BH = 2R \cos B\) - \(CH = 2R \cos C\) ...
