The correct Answer is:
To find the angles of the triangle with sides \( a = 3 + \sqrt{3} \), \( b = 2\sqrt{3} \), and \( c = \sqrt{6} \), we will use the cosine rule. The cosine rule states: \[ \cos A = \frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc} \] \[ \cos B = \frac{a^2 + c^2 - b^2}{2ac} \] \[ \cos C = \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab} \] ### Step 1: Calculate \( \cos C \) Using the formula for \( \cos C \): \[ \cos C = \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab} \] First, we need to calculate \( a^2 \), \( b^2 \), and \( c^2 \): - \( a^2 = (3 + \sqrt{3})^2 = 9 + 6\sqrt{3} + 3 = 12 + 6\sqrt{3} \) - \( b^2 = (2\sqrt{3})^2 = 4 \times 3 = 12 \) - \( c^2 = (\sqrt{6})^2 = 6 \) Now substituting these values into the formula: \[ \cos C = \frac{(12 + 6\sqrt{3}) + 12 - 6}{2(3 + \sqrt{3})(2\sqrt{3})} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ 12 + 6\sqrt{3} + 12 - 6 = 18 + 6\sqrt{3} \] Calculating the denominator: \[ 2(3 + \sqrt{3})(2\sqrt{3}) = 4\sqrt{3}(3 + \sqrt{3}) = 12\sqrt{3} + 4 \times 3 = 12\sqrt{3} + 12 \] Thus, \[ \cos C = \frac{18 + 6\sqrt{3}}{12\sqrt{3} + 12} \] ### Step 2: Simplifying \( \cos C \) Factoring out 6 from the numerator and 12 from the denominator: \[ \cos C = \frac{6(3 + \sqrt{3})}{12(1 + \sqrt{3})} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{3 + \sqrt{3}}{1 + \sqrt{3}} \] Now, since \( \cos C = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \), we find: \[ C = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) = 30^\circ \] ### Step 3: Calculate \( \cos B \) Using the formula for \( \cos B \): \[ \cos B = \frac{a^2 + c^2 - b^2}{2ac} \] Substituting the values: \[ \cos B = \frac{(12 + 6\sqrt{3}) + 6 - 12}{2(3 + \sqrt{3})(\sqrt{6})} \] Calculating the numerator: \[ 12 + 6\sqrt{3} + 6 - 12 = 6 + 6\sqrt{3} \] Calculating the denominator: \[ 2(3 + \sqrt{3})(\sqrt{6}) = 2\sqrt{6}(3 + \sqrt{3}) = 6\sqrt{6} + 2\sqrt{18} = 6\sqrt{6} + 6\sqrt{2} \] Thus, \[ \cos B = \frac{6(1 + \sqrt{3})}{6(\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2})} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}} \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( A \) Using the angle sum property of triangles: \[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \] Substituting the known values: \[ A + 45^\circ + 30^\circ = 180^\circ \] Thus, \[ A = 180^\circ - 75^\circ = 105^\circ \] ### Conclusion The angles of the triangle are: - \( A = 105^\circ \) - \( B = 45^\circ \) - \( C = 30^\circ \)
