The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the angle \( C \) in triangle \( ABC \) given that \( a = 2b \) and \( |A - B| = \frac{\pi}{3} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Information:** We know that: - \( a = 2b \) - \( |A - B| = \frac{\pi}{3} \) 2. **Using the Formula for the Difference of Angles:** We can use the formula: \[ \tan\left(\frac{A - B}{2}\right) = \frac{a - b}{a + b} \cdot \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) \] Since \( |A - B| = \frac{\pi}{3} \), we can write: \[ A - B = \frac{\pi}{3} \quad \text{or} \quad B - A = \frac{\pi}{3} \] 3. **Substituting Values:** Let's assume \( A - B = \frac{\pi}{3} \). Then: \[ \tan\left(\frac{\frac{\pi}{3}}{2}\right) = \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] Now substituting \( a \) and \( b \): \[ \frac{2b - b}{2b + b} \cdot \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) = \frac{b}{3b} \cdot \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) \] 4. **Setting Up the Equation:** We have: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) \] Multiplying both sides by 3: \[ \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) = 3 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \sqrt{3} \] 5. **Finding \( C \):** We know that: \[ \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) = \sqrt{3} \] This implies: \[ \frac{C}{2} = \frac{\pi}{6} \quad \text{(since } \cot\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \sqrt{3}\text{)} \] Therefore: \[ C = 2 \cdot \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{3} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of angle \( C \) is: \[ C = \frac{\pi}{3} \]
