The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the given information about triangle \(ABC\) and the relationship between the sides and angles. ### Step 1: Understand the given information We have a triangle \(ABC\) with sides \(a\), \(b\), \(c\) and angle \(A\) given. We know that there are two values for the side \(b\), namely \(b_1\) and \(b_2\), where \(b_2 = 2b_1\). ### Step 2: Use the Law of Cosines According to the Law of Cosines, we can relate the sides and angles of the triangle as follows: \[ b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cos A \] This equation can be rearranged to form a quadratic equation in terms of \(b\): \[ b^2 - 2ac \cos A + (c^2 - a^2) = 0 \] ### Step 3: Identify the coefficients In the quadratic equation \(b^2 - 2ac \cos A + (c^2 - a^2) = 0\): - Coefficient of \(b\) (linear term) is \(-2ac \cos A\) - Constant term is \(c^2 - a^2\) ### Step 4: Sum and Product of Roots For a quadratic equation \(Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0\), the sum of the roots \(b_1 + b_2 = -\frac{B}{A}\) and the product of the roots \(b_1 b_2 = \frac{C}{A}\). Here, we have: - Sum of the roots: \(b_1 + b_2 = 2ac \cos A\) - Product of the roots: \(b_1 b_2 = c^2 - a^2\) ### Step 5: Substitute \(b_2 = 2b_1\) Substituting \(b_2 = 2b_1\) into the sum of the roots: \[ b_1 + 2b_1 = 3b_1 = 2ac \cos A \] From this, we can express \(b_1\): \[ b_1 = \frac{2ac \cos A}{3} \] ### Step 6: Substitute into the product of the roots Now substituting \(b_1\) and \(b_2\) into the product of the roots: \[ b_1 \cdot (2b_1) = 2b_1^2 = c^2 - a^2 \] Substituting \(b_1 = \frac{2ac \cos A}{3}\): \[ 2\left(\frac{2ac \cos A}{3}\right)^2 = c^2 - a^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{8a^2c^2 \cos^2 A}{9} = c^2 - a^2 \] ### Step 7: Rearranging the equation Rearranging gives: \[ c^2 - \frac{8a^2c^2 \cos^2 A}{9} = a^2 \] Multiplying through by 9 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 9c^2 - 8a^2c^2 \cos^2 A = 9a^2 \] ### Step 8: Isolate \(\sin^2 A\) Now we can express \(\sin^2 A\) in terms of \(a\) and \(c\): \[ 8a^2c^2 \cos^2 A = 9c^2 - 9a^2 \] Using the identity \(\sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1\): \[ \cos^2 A = 1 - \sin^2 A \] Substituting this into our equation: \[ 8a^2c^2(1 - \sin^2 A) = 9c^2 - 9a^2 \] Expanding and rearranging gives: \[ 8a^2c^2 - 8a^2c^2 \sin^2 A = 9c^2 - 9a^2 \] \[ 8a^2c^2 \sin^2 A = 9a^2 - 9c^2 + 8a^2c^2 \] ### Step 9: Solve for \(\sin^2 A\) Finally, we can isolate \(\sin^2 A\): \[ \sin^2 A = \frac{9a^2 - 9c^2 + 8a^2c^2}{8a^2c^2} \] ### Step 10: Conclusion Thus, we find the value of \(\sin A\): \[ \sin A = \sqrt{\frac{9a^2 - c^2}{8c^2}} \] ### Final Answer The value of \(\sin A\) is: \[ \sin A = \sqrt{\frac{9a^2 - c^2}{8c^2}} \]
