The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to establish a relationship between the sides \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) of triangle \(ABC\) given the equation \(2a = \sqrt{3}b + c\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Start with the given equation**: \[ 2a = \sqrt{3}b + c \] 2. **Rearrange the equation**: \[ 2a - c = \sqrt{3}b \] Now, we can express \(b\) in terms of \(a\) and \(c\): \[ b = \frac{2a - c}{\sqrt{3}} \] 3. **Use the Sine Rule**: According to the sine rule in triangle \(ABC\): \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} = k \] where \(k\) is a constant. 4. **Express \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) in terms of \(k\)**: \[ a = k \sin A, \quad b = k \sin B, \quad c = k \sin C \] 5. **Substitute these expressions into the rearranged equation**: \[ 2(k \sin A) - (k \sin C) = \sqrt{3}(k \sin B) \] Dividing the entire equation by \(k\) (assuming \(k \neq 0\)): \[ 2\sin A - \sin C = \sqrt{3}\sin B \] 6. **Rearranging gives**: \[ 2\sin A = \sqrt{3}\sin B + \sin C \] 7. **Using trigonometric identities**: We can relate the angles using known values. If we assume angles \(B\) and \(C\) correspond to specific values, we can use the cosine rule: \[ \cos A = \frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc} \] 8. **Assuming \(B = 60^\circ\) and \(C = 30^\circ\)**: This gives us: \[ \sin B = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \quad \sin C = \frac{1}{2} \] Therefore, substituting these values: \[ 2\sin A = \sqrt{3} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \] Simplifying: \[ 2\sin A = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 2 \implies \sin A = 1 \implies A = 90^\circ \] 9. **Using the cosine rule**: Since \(A = 90^\circ\), we apply the cosine rule: \[ a^2 = b^2 + c^2 \] ### Conclusion: The relationship we derived is: \[ a^2 = b^2 + c^2 \] This corresponds to the Pythagorean theorem, confirming that triangle \(ABC\) is a right triangle.
