The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the options is possible in triangle \( \Delta ABC \), we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option A **Option A:** \( \cos A + \cos B + \cos C = \frac{3}{2} \) For a triangle, the angles \( A, B, C \) must satisfy \( A + B + C = 180^\circ \) or \( A + B + C = \pi \) radians. In an equilateral triangle, where \( A = B = C = 60^\circ \): \[ \cos 60^\circ = \frac{1}{2} \] Thus, \[ \cos A + \cos B + \cos C = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \] This option is possible. ### Step 2: Analyze Option B **Option B:** \( \cos A \cdot \cos B \cdot \cos C = 0 \) This condition is satisfied if at least one of the angles \( A, B, \) or \( C \) is \( 90^\circ \) (i.e., the triangle is a right triangle). If \( A = 90^\circ \): \[ \cos A = 0 \] Thus, \[ \cos A \cdot \cos B \cdot \cos C = 0 \] This option is possible. ### Step 3: Analyze Option C **Option C:** \( \sin A + \sin B + \sin C = \sqrt{2} + 1 \) For this to hold, we can consider the case where \( A = 90^\circ \) and \( B = C = 45^\circ \): \[ \sin 90^\circ = 1, \quad \sin 45^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] Thus, \[ \sin A + \sin B + \sin C = 1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 1 + \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = 1 + \sqrt{2} \] This option is also possible. ### Step 4: Analyze Option D **Option D:** \( \sin A \cdot \sin B \cdot \sin C = -\frac{3}{8} \) Since the sine of any angle in a triangle is always non-negative (as angles \( A, B, C \) are between \( 0^\circ \) and \( 180^\circ \)), the product \( \sin A \cdot \sin B \cdot \sin C \) cannot be negative. Thus, this option is not possible. ### Conclusion The possible options in triangle \( \Delta ABC \) are: - Option A: Correct - Option B: Correct - Option C: Correct - Option D: Incorrect ### Final Answer The correct options are A, B, and C. ---
