The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \(\frac{b^2 - c^2}{2aR}\) in triangle \(ABC\), where \(R\) is the circumradius. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Circumradius**: The circumradius \(R\) of triangle \(ABC\) can be expressed in terms of the sides and angles of the triangle. We know that: \[ R = \frac{a}{2 \sin A} \] 2. **Using the Sine Rule**: According to the sine rule, we have: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} = k \] From this, we can express the sides in terms of \(k\): \[ a = k \sin A, \quad b = k \sin B, \quad c = k \sin C \] 3. **Substituting for \(R\)**: We substitute \(R\) into our expression: \[ \frac{b^2 - c^2}{2aR} = \frac{b^2 - c^2}{2a \cdot \frac{a}{2 \sin A}} = \frac{b^2 - c^2}{\frac{a^2}{\sin A}} = \frac{(b^2 - c^2) \sin A}{a^2} \] 4. **Expressing \(b^2 - c^2\)**: We can use the identity \(b^2 - c^2 = (b - c)(b + c)\). Thus, we need to express \(b\) and \(c\) in terms of \(k\): \[ b = k \sin B, \quad c = k \sin C \] Therefore: \[ b^2 - c^2 = k^2 (\sin^2 B - \sin^2 C) \] 5. **Using the Sine Difference Identity**: We can apply the sine difference identity: \[ \sin^2 B - \sin^2 C = (\sin B - \sin C)(\sin B + \sin C) \] 6. **Substituting Back**: Now substituting back into our expression: \[ \frac{(b^2 - c^2) \sin A}{a^2} = \frac{k^2 (\sin B - \sin C)(\sin B + \sin C) \sin A}{a^2} \] 7. **Final Expression**: Since \(a = k \sin A\), we can express \(a^2\) as: \[ a^2 = k^2 \sin^2 A \] Thus, we have: \[ \frac{(b^2 - c^2) \sin A}{a^2} = \frac{(\sin B - \sin C)(\sin B + \sin C) \sin A}{\sin^2 A} \] 8. **Result**: Finally, using the sine difference and sum identities, we find: \[ \frac{b^2 - c^2}{2aR} = \sin(B - C) \] ### Conclusion: Thus, we conclude that: \[ \frac{b^2 - c^2}{2aR} = \sin(B - C) \]
