The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to show that the ratio \( \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} \) is not always equal to \( 2R \) or any other specific expression, except for certain cases. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Law of Sines The Law of Sines states that for any triangle \( ABC \): \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} = 2R \] where \( R \) is the circumradius of the triangle. ### Step 2: Identify the Circumradius The circumradius \( R \) can be expressed in terms of the area \( \Delta \) of the triangle: \[ R = \frac{abc}{4\Delta} \] Thus, we can rewrite the Law of Sines as: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} = \frac{abc}{2\Delta} \] ### Step 3: Analyze the Expression We need to analyze if \( \frac{a}{\sin A} \) can be equal to other expressions such as \( \frac{abc}{2\Delta} \) or \( 2R \) in all cases. ### Step 4: Check Specific Cases 1. **Equilateral Triangle**: In an equilateral triangle, all angles are \( 60^\circ \) and all sides are equal. Here, the ratio holds true. 2. **Isosceles Triangle**: In an isosceles triangle, the ratio holds true for the equal sides but may not hold for the unequal side. 3. **Scalene Triangle**: In a scalene triangle, the ratio may not hold true as the angles and sides vary. ### Step 5: Conclusion The ratio \( \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} \) is not always equal to \( 2R \) or any other specific expression like \( \frac{abc}{2\Delta} \) in all triangles. It is only valid under certain conditions (like in an equilateral triangle). ### Final Answer Thus, the statement that \( \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} \) is not always equal to \( 2R \) or any other specific expression is true. ---
