The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \((2 \sin P - \sin 2P)/(2 \sin P + \sin 2P)\) for the triangle PQR with given side lengths \(a = 2\), \(b = \frac{7}{2}\), and \(c = \frac{5}{2}\). ### Step 1: Use the double angle formula for sine We know that: \[ \sin 2P = 2 \sin P \cos P \] Substituting this into the expression, we have: \[ \frac{2 \sin P - \sin 2P}{2 \sin P + \sin 2P} = \frac{2 \sin P - 2 \sin P \cos P}{2 \sin P + 2 \sin P \cos P} \] ### Step 2: Factor out \(2 \sin P\) Now, we can factor \(2 \sin P\) from both the numerator and the denominator: \[ = \frac{2 \sin P (1 - \cos P)}{2 \sin P (1 + \cos P)} \] Since \(2 \sin P\) is common in both numerator and denominator, we can cancel it out (assuming \(\sin P \neq 0\)): \[ = \frac{1 - \cos P}{1 + \cos P} \] ### Step 3: Use the half-angle identities Using the half-angle identities: \[ 1 - \cos P = 2 \sin^2 \left(\frac{P}{2}\right) \] \[ 1 + \cos P = 2 \cos^2 \left(\frac{P}{2}\right) \] Substituting these into our expression gives: \[ = \frac{2 \sin^2 \left(\frac{P}{2}\right)}{2 \cos^2 \left(\frac{P}{2}\right)} \] The 2's cancel out: \[ = \tan^2 \left(\frac{P}{2}\right) \] ### Step 4: Relate \(\tan^2 \left(\frac{P}{2}\right)\) to the area of the triangle Using the formula for \(\tan^2 \left(\frac{P}{2}\right)\): \[ \tan^2 \left(\frac{P}{2}\right) = \frac{(s-b)(s-c)}{s(s-a)} \] where \(s\) is the semi-perimeter of the triangle. ### Step 5: Calculate the semi-perimeter \(s\) The semi-perimeter \(s\) is given by: \[ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} = \frac{2 + \frac{7}{2} + \frac{5}{2}}{2} = \frac{2 + 6}{2} = 4 \] ### Step 6: Calculate \(s-a\), \(s-b\), and \(s-c\) Now we calculate: \[ s - a = 4 - 2 = 2 \] \[ s - b = 4 - \frac{7}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \] \[ s - c = 4 - \frac{5}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \] ### Step 7: Substitute into the formula for \(\tan^2 \left(\frac{P}{2}\right)\) Now substituting these values into the formula: \[ \tan^2 \left(\frac{P}{2}\right) = \frac{(s-b)(s-c)}{s(s-a)} = \frac{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)}{4 \cdot 2} = \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{8} = \frac{3}{32} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final value of \(\frac{2 \sin P - \sin 2P}{2 \sin P + \sin 2P}\) is: \[ \frac{3}{32} \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \((2 \sin P - \sin 2P)/(2 \sin P + \sin 2P)\) for the triangle PQR with given side lengths \(a = 2\), \(b = \frac{7}{2}\), and \(c = \frac{5}{2}\). ### Step 1: Use the double angle formula for sine We know that: \[ \sin 2P = 2 \sin P \cos P \] Substituting this into the expression, we have: ...
