The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the sides of a triangle given that they are in geometric progression (G.P.) with a common ratio of \( \frac{3}{2} \) and that the circumradius \( R \) is \( \frac{54}{\sqrt{1463}} \). ### Step 1: Define the sides of the triangle Let the sides of the triangle be \( a, b, c \). Since the sides are in G.P. with a common ratio of \( \frac{3}{2} \), we can express the sides as: - \( a = x \) - \( b = \frac{3}{2}x \) - \( c = \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 x = \frac{9}{4}x \) ### Step 2: Use the circumradius formula The circumradius \( R \) of a triangle can be expressed in terms of its sides and angles as: \[ R = \frac{abc}{4K} \] where \( K \) is the area of the triangle. However, we can also use the formula: \[ R = \frac{a}{2 \sin A} = \frac{b}{2 \sin B} = \frac{c}{2 \sin C} \] Given \( R = \frac{54}{\sqrt{1463}} \), we can set up the equations for each side. ### Step 3: Relate the sides to the circumradius From the circumradius formula, we can write: \[ \frac{a}{2 \sin A} = \frac{54}{\sqrt{1463}} \] \[ \frac{b}{2 \sin B} = \frac{54}{\sqrt{1463}} \] \[ \frac{c}{2 \sin C} = \frac{54}{\sqrt{1463}} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the sides into the circumradius equations Substituting \( a, b, c \) into the circumradius equations gives: \[ \frac{x}{2 \sin A} = \frac{54}{\sqrt{1463}} \quad (1) \] \[ \frac{\frac{3}{2}x}{2 \sin B} = \frac{54}{\sqrt{1463}} \quad (2) \] \[ \frac{\frac{9}{4}x}{2 \sin C} = \frac{54}{\sqrt{1463}} \quad (3) \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( x \) From equation (1): \[ x = \frac{108 \sin A}{\sqrt{1463}} \quad (4) \] From equation (2): \[ \frac{3}{2}x = \frac{108 \sin B}{\sqrt{1463}} \quad (5) \] From equation (3): \[ \frac{9}{4}x = \frac{108 \sin C}{\sqrt{1463}} \quad (6) \] ### Step 6: Find the relationship between angles Using the property of triangles, we know that: \[ \frac{\sin B}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{a} = \frac{\frac{3}{2}x}{x} = \frac{3}{2} \] \[ \frac{\sin C}{\sin A} = \frac{c}{a} = \frac{\frac{9}{4}x}{x} = \frac{9}{4} \] ### Step 7: Use the sine rule Using the sine rule, we can express the angles in terms of one angle, say \( A \): \[ \sin B = \frac{3}{2} \sin A \] \[ \sin C = \frac{9}{4} \sin A \] ### Step 8: Find the sides Now substituting back into the expressions for \( x \): 1. From (4): \( x = \frac{108 \sin A}{\sqrt{1463}} \) 2. From (5): \( b = \frac{3}{2}x = \frac{162 \sin A}{\sqrt{1463}} \) 3. From (6): \( c = \frac{9}{4}x = \frac{243 \sin A}{\sqrt{1463}} \) ### Final Step: Calculate the sides Thus, the sides of the triangle are: - \( a = \frac{108 \sin A}{\sqrt{1463}} \) - \( b = \frac{162 \sin A}{\sqrt{1463}} \) - \( c = \frac{243 \sin A}{\sqrt{1463}} \)
