The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of sin A given the sides of the triangle and the cosine of the angle difference. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information We are given: - \( a = 6 \) - \( b = 3 \) - \( \cos(A - B) = \frac{4}{5} \) ### Step 2: Use the Relationship Involving Tangent We have the equation: \[ \tan\left(\frac{A - B}{2}\right) = \frac{a - b}{a + b} \cot\left(\frac{C}{2} \] Substituting the values of \( a \) and \( b \): \[ \tan\left(\frac{A - B}{2}\right) = \frac{6 - 3}{6 + 3} \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ \tan\left(\frac{A - B}{2}\right) = \frac{3}{9} \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{3} \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) \] ### Step 3: Express \(\tan\left(\frac{A - B}{2}\right)\) in Terms of Cosine Using the identity: \[ \tan\left(\frac{A - B}{2}\right) = \frac{\sin(A - B)}{1 + \cos(A - B)} \] We know: \[ \cos(A - B) = \frac{4}{5} \] Thus, we can find \(\sin(A - B)\) using the Pythagorean identity: \[ \sin^2(A - B) + \cos^2(A - B) = 1 \] \[ \sin^2(A - B) + \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2 = 1 \] \[ \sin^2(A - B) + \frac{16}{25} = 1 \] \[ \sin^2(A - B) = 1 - \frac{16}{25} = \frac{9}{25} \] \[ \sin(A - B) = \frac{3}{5} \] Now substituting back into the tangent expression: \[ \tan\left(\frac{A - B}{2}\right) = \frac{\frac{3}{5}}{1 + \frac{4}{5}} = \frac{\frac{3}{5}}{\frac{9}{5}} = \frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 4: Equate and Solve for \(\cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right)\) From the previous step: \[ \frac{1}{3} \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{3} \] Thus, we have: \[ \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) = 1 \] This implies: \[ \tan\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) = 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{C}{2} = \frac{\pi}{4} \quad \Rightarrow \quad C = \frac{\pi}{2} \] ### Step 5: Use the Sine Rule Since \( C = 90^\circ \), we can use the sine rule: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{c}{\sin C} \] Here, \( \sin C = 1 \) (since \( C = 90^\circ \)): \[ \frac{6}{\sin A} = c \] We need to find \( c \) using the Pythagorean theorem: \[ c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{36 + 9} = \sqrt{45} = 3\sqrt{5} \] Thus: \[ \frac{6}{\sin A} = 3\sqrt{5} \] Rearranging gives: \[ \sin A = \frac{6}{3\sqrt{5}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} \] ### Final Answer The value of \( \sin A \) is: \[ \sin A = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} \]
