The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given equation: \[ \sin^2 A + \sin^2 B = \sin^2 C \] ### Step 1: Use the Sine Rule According to the sine rule in a triangle, we have: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} = k \] From this, we can express \(\sin A\), \(\sin B\), and \(\sin C\) in terms of the sides of the triangle: \[ \sin A = \frac{a}{k}, \quad \sin B = \frac{b}{k}, \quad \sin C = \frac{c}{k} \] ### Step 2: Substitute into the Given Equation Now substitute these values into the equation \(\sin^2 A + \sin^2 B = \sin^2 C\): \[ \left(\frac{a}{k}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{b}{k}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{c}{k}\right)^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{a^2}{k^2} + \frac{b^2}{k^2} = \frac{c^2}{k^2} \] ### Step 3: Eliminate \(k^2\) Since \(k^2\) is common in all terms, we can multiply through by \(k^2\) (assuming \(k \neq 0\)): \[ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \] ### Step 4: Identify the Triangle Type The equation \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\) is the Pythagorean theorem, which indicates that triangle ABC is a right triangle with angle \(C\) being \(90^\circ\). ### Step 5: Use Angle Sum Property Since angle \(C\) is \(90^\circ\), we can use the angle sum property of triangles: \[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \] Substituting \(C = 90^\circ\): \[ A + B + 90^\circ = 180^\circ \] Thus, we have: \[ A + B = 90^\circ \] ### Step 6: Find \(\tan A + B\) Taking the tangent of both sides: \[ \tan(A + B) = \tan(90^\circ) \] Since \(\tan(90^\circ)\) is undefined (or infinite), we can use the tangent addition formula: \[ \tan(A + B) = \frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B} \] Setting this equal to infinity implies: \[ 1 - \tan A \tan B = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \tan A \tan B = 1 \] ### Step 7: Conclusion Thus, we conclude that: 1. \(\tan A \tan B = 1\) 2. \(\sin A + \sin B = 1\) (since \(\sin C = 1\) when \(C = 90^\circ\)) ### Final Answer The correct options from the given choices are: - \(\tan A \tan B = 1\) (Option 2) - \(\sin A + \sin B = 1\) (Option 3)

To solve the problem, we start with the given equation: \[ \sin^2 A + \sin^2 B = \sin^2 C \] ### Step 1: Use the Sine Rule According to the sine rule in a triangle, we have: ...
