The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given equation in triangle \( ABC \): \[ a^2 \sin B = b^2 + c^2 \] ### Step 1: Rearranging the Equation We can rearrange the equation to isolate terms involving \( a^2 \): \[ a^2 \sin B - a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - a^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ a^2 (\sin B - 1) = b^2 + c^2 - a^2 \] ### Step 2: Using the Cosine Rule From the cosine rule, we know that: \[ a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos A \] We can substitute this into our rearranged equation: \[ a^2 (\sin B - 1) = b^2 + c^2 - (b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos A) \] This simplifies to: \[ a^2 (\sin B - 1) = 2bc \cos A \] ### Step 3: Analyzing the Equation Now, we have: \[ a^2 (\sin B - 1) = 2bc \cos A \] ### Step 4: Considering the Values of Sine Since \( \sin B \) can only take values between -1 and 1, we can analyze the implications: - If \( \sin B = 1 \), then \( B = 90^\circ \) and \( a^2 (1 - 1) = 0 \), which is valid. - If \( \sin B < 1 \), then \( \sin B - 1 < 0 \), which implies \( a^2 (\sin B - 1) < 0 \). ### Step 5: Conclusion About Angle A Since \( 2bc \cos A \) must also be less than or equal to zero, we conclude that: - If \( \cos A < 0 \), then \( A \) must be an obtuse angle (i.e., \( 90^\circ < A < 180^\circ \)). Thus, we can conclude that: **The angle \( A \) is obtuse.** ### Final Answer The correct option is that angle \( A \) is obtuse. ---
