The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the Sine Rule in triangle \( ABC \). Given the information: - \( \angle C = 3 \angle A \) - \( BC = 27 \) (let's denote this as side \( a \)) - \( AB = 48 \) (let's denote this as side \( c \)) - We need to find \( AC \) (let's denote this as side \( b \)) ### Step 1: Set Up the Sine Rule According to the Sine Rule, we have: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} \] ### Step 2: Express \( \sin C \) in terms of \( \sin A \) Since \( \angle C = 3 \angle A \), we can express \( \sin C \) using the sine triple angle formula: \[ \sin C = \sin(3A) = 3 \sin A - 4 \sin^3 A \] ### Step 3: Substitute Known Values in Sine Rule Using the Sine Rule, we can write: \[ \frac{27}{\sin A} = \frac{48}{\sin C} \] Substituting \( \sin C \): \[ \frac{27}{\sin A} = \frac{48}{3 \sin A - 4 \sin^3 A} \] ### Step 4: Cross Multiply Cross multiplying gives us: \[ 27(3 \sin A - 4 \sin^3 A) = 48 \sin A \] ### Step 5: Rearrange the Equation Rearranging the equation: \[ 81 \sin A - 108 \sin^3 A = 48 \sin A \] This simplifies to: \[ 33 \sin A - 108 \sin^3 A = 0 \] ### Step 6: Factor Out \( \sin A \) Factoring out \( \sin A \): \[ \sin A (33 - 108 \sin^2 A) = 0 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( \sin A \) Since \( \sin A \neq 0 \) in a triangle, we have: \[ 33 - 108 \sin^2 A = 0 \] Solving for \( \sin^2 A \): \[ 108 \sin^2 A = 33 \implies \sin^2 A = \frac{33}{108} = \frac{11}{36} \] Taking the square root: \[ \sin A = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{6} \] ### Step 8: Find \( \sin C \) Now we can find \( \sin C \): \[ \sin C = 3 \sin A - 4 \sin^3 A \] Calculating \( \sin^3 A \): \[ \sin^3 A = \left(\frac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\right)^3 = \frac{11\sqrt{11}}{216} \] Substituting back: \[ \sin C = 3 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{11}}{6} - 4 \cdot \frac{11\sqrt{11}}{216} \] Calculating: \[ \sin C = \frac{3\sqrt{11}}{6} - \frac{44\sqrt{11}}{216} = \frac{3\sqrt{11}}{6} - \frac{11\sqrt{11}}{54} = \frac{27\sqrt{11}}{54} - \frac{11\sqrt{11}}{54} = \frac{16\sqrt{11}}{54} = \frac{8\sqrt{11}}{27} \] ### Step 9: Use Sine Rule to Find \( b \) Now we can find \( b \) using the Sine Rule: \[ \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{27}{\sin A} \] We also know: \[ \sin B = \sin(180^\circ - A - C) = \sin(A + C) \] Using \( \sin B \) in terms of \( \sin A \) and \( \sin C \): \[ b = \frac{27 \sin B}{\sin A} \] Using the values we calculated: \[ b = \frac{27 \cdot \sin C}{\sin A} = \frac{27 \cdot \frac{8\sqrt{11}}{27}}{\frac{\sqrt{11}}{6}} = 27 \cdot \frac{8\sqrt{11}}{27} \cdot \frac{6}{\sqrt{11}} = 48 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( AC \) (side \( b \)) is: \[ \boxed{16\sqrt{11}} \]
