The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the other two angles and the third side of the triangle given two sides and the included angle. The given values are: - Side \( a = \sqrt{3} + 1 \) - Side \( b = 2 \) - Included angle \( C = 60^\circ \) ### Step 1: Use the Cosine Rule to find the third side \( c \) The Cosine Rule states that: \[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos(C) \] Substituting the given values: \[ c^2 = (\sqrt{3} + 1)^2 + 2^2 - 2(\sqrt{3} + 1)(2) \cos(60^\circ) \] ### Step 2: Calculate \( a^2 \) and \( b^2 \) Calculating \( a^2 \): \[ a^2 = (\sqrt{3} + 1)^2 = 3 + 2\sqrt{3} + 1 = 4 + 2\sqrt{3} \] Calculating \( b^2 \): \[ b^2 = 2^2 = 4 \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( a^2 \) and \( b^2 \) into the equation Now substituting these values into the Cosine Rule: \[ c^2 = (4 + 2\sqrt{3}) + 4 - 2(\sqrt{3} + 1)(2) \cdot \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation Calculating \( -2(\sqrt{3} + 1)(2) \cdot \frac{1}{2} \): \[ -2(\sqrt{3} + 1)(2) \cdot \frac{1}{2} = -2(\sqrt{3} + 1) = -2\sqrt{3} - 2 \] Now substituting this back into the equation: \[ c^2 = (4 + 2\sqrt{3}) + 4 - (2\sqrt{3} + 2) \] \[ c^2 = 4 + 2\sqrt{3} + 4 - 2\sqrt{3} - 2 \] \[ c^2 = 6 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( c \) Taking the square root: \[ c = \sqrt{6} \] ### Step 6: Find the other two angles \( A \) and \( B \) Using the sine rule: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} \] From this, we can express: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{c}{\sin C} \] \[ \sin A = \frac{a \cdot \sin C}{c} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \sin A = \frac{(\sqrt{3} + 1) \cdot \sin(60^\circ)}{\sqrt{6}} \] \[ \sin A = \frac{(\sqrt{3} + 1) \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{\sqrt{6}} \] \[ \sin A = \frac{(\sqrt{3} + 1) \cdot \sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{6}} \] ### Step 7: Calculate \( \sin A \) Calculating \( \sin A \): \[ \sin A = \frac{3 + \sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{6}} \] ### Step 8: Find angle \( A \) Using the inverse sine function: \[ A = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3 + \sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{6}}\right) \] ### Step 9: Find angle \( B \) Using the triangle angle sum property: \[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \] \[ B = 180^\circ - A - 60^\circ \] \[ B = 120^\circ - A \] ### Final Answers - The third side \( c = \sqrt{6} \) - Angle \( A = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3 + \sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{6}}\right) \) - Angle \( B = 120^\circ - A \)
