The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \( \frac{b \cos^2 C}{2} + \frac{c \cos^2 B}{2} \) in terms of \( k \), where \( k \) is the perimeter of triangle \( ABC \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the given expression**: \[ \frac{b \cos^2 C}{2} + \frac{c \cos^2 B}{2} \] 2. **Use the identity for cosine squared**: Recall that: \[ \cos^2 C = \frac{1 + \cos 2C}{2} \quad \text{and} \quad \cos^2 B = \frac{1 + \cos 2B}{2} \] Therefore, we can rewrite the expression as: \[ \frac{b}{2} \left( \frac{1 + \cos 2C}{2} \right) + \frac{c}{2} \left( \frac{1 + \cos 2B}{2} \right) \] 3. **Simplify the expression**: This simplifies to: \[ \frac{b}{4} (1 + \cos 2C) + \frac{c}{4} (1 + \cos 2B) \] Which can be further simplified to: \[ \frac{b + c}{4} + \frac{b \cos 2C}{4} + \frac{c \cos 2B}{4} \] 4. **Combine like terms**: Now we can combine the constant terms: \[ \frac{b + c}{4} + \frac{1}{4} (b \cos 2C + c \cos 2B) \] 5. **Use the projection formula**: From the projection formula, we know that: \[ b \cos C + c \cos B = a \] Therefore, we can express \( b \cos 2C + c \cos 2B \) in terms of \( a \): \[ b \cos 2C + c \cos 2B = b \left(2 \cos^2 C - 1\right) + c \left(2 \cos^2 B - 1\right) \] This leads to: \[ = 2(b \cos^2 C + c \cos^2 B) - (b + c) \] 6. **Substituting back**: We substitute back into our expression: \[ = \frac{b + c}{4} + \frac{1}{4} \left(2(b \cos^2 C + c \cos^2 B) - (b + c)\right) \] 7. **Express in terms of perimeter \( k \)**: The perimeter \( k \) of triangle \( ABC \) is given by: \[ k = a + b + c \] Therefore, we can express \( a + b + c \) in terms of \( k \): \[ \frac{a + b + c}{2} = \frac{k}{2} \] 8. **Final expression**: Thus, we conclude that: \[ \frac{b \cos^2 C}{2} + \frac{c \cos^2 B}{2} = \frac{k}{2} \] ### Final Answer: \[ \frac{b \cos^2 C}{2} + \frac{c \cos^2 B}{2} = \frac{k}{2} \]
