The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given equation \( \cos \theta = \frac{A - B}{C} \) in the context of triangle \( ABC \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Equation**: We start with the equation: \[ \cos \theta = \frac{A - B}{C} \] where \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) are the lengths of the sides opposite to angles \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) respectively. 2. **Using the Law of Sines**: According to the Law of Sines: \[ \frac{A}{\sin A} = \frac{B}{\sin B} = \frac{C}{\sin C} = k \] where \( k \) is a constant. 3. **Expressing Sides in Terms of Angles**: From the Law of Sines, we can express \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) as: \[ A = k \sin A, \quad B = k \sin B, \quad C = k \sin C \] Substituting these into the equation for \( \cos \theta \): \[ \cos \theta = \frac{k \sin A - k \sin B}{k \sin C} = \frac{\sin A - \sin B}{\sin C} \] 4. **Using the Sine Difference Formula**: We can apply the sine difference formula: \[ \sin A - \sin B = 2 \cos\left(\frac{A + B}{2}\right) \sin\left(\frac{A - B}{2}\right) \] Therefore, we can rewrite \( \cos \theta \): \[ \cos \theta = \frac{2 \cos\left(\frac{A + B}{2}\right) \sin\left(\frac{A - B}{2}\right)}{\sin C} \] 5. **Using the Sine of Angle C**: Using the angle sum property \( A + B + C = 180^\circ \) or \( \pi \) radians: \[ C = \pi - (A + B) \implies \sin C = \sin(A + B) \] We can express \( \sin(A + B) \) using the sine addition formula: \[ \sin(A + B) = \sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B \] 6. **Substituting Back**: Now substituting back into our expression for \( \cos \theta \): \[ \cos \theta = \frac{2 \cos\left(\frac{A + B}{2}\right) \sin\left(\frac{A - B}{2}\right)}{\sin(A + B)} \] 7. **Finding Sine of Theta**: We can find \( \sin \theta \) using the identity \( \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \): \[ \sin^2 \theta = 1 - \cos^2 \theta \] 8. **Finalizing the Options**: We can now check the multiple-choice options provided in the question against our derived expressions for \( \sin \theta \) and \( \cos \theta \) to determine which options are correct.
