The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem step by step, we will use the information provided in the question. ### Step 1: Understand the given values We have: - \( a = 2 \) - \( \Delta = \sqrt{3} \) - The equation \( a \cos C + \sqrt{3} a \sin C - b - c = 0 \) ### Step 2: Use the area formula for a triangle The area \( \Delta \) of triangle ABC can also be expressed using the formula: \[ \Delta = \frac{1}{2} a b \sin C \] Substituting the known values: \[ \sqrt{3} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \cdot b \cdot \sin C \] This simplifies to: \[ \sqrt{3} = b \sin C \] Thus, we can express \( b \) in terms of \( \sin C \): \[ b = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sin C} \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( b \) in the given equation Now, substitute \( b \) into the equation \( a \cos C + \sqrt{3} a \sin C - b - c = 0 \): \[ 2 \cos C + \sqrt{3} \cdot 2 \sin C - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sin C} - c = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2 \cos C + 2\sqrt{3} \sin C - c - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sin C} = 0 \] ### Step 4: Rearranging the equation Rearranging gives us: \[ c = 2 \cos C + 2\sqrt{3} \sin C - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sin C} \] ### Step 5: Find \( b + c \) Now we need to find \( b + c \): \[ b + c = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sin C} + \left(2 \cos C + 2\sqrt{3} \sin C - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sin C}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ b + c = 2 \cos C + 2\sqrt{3} \sin C \] ### Step 6: Analyze the triangle To find specific values, we can consider the case when the triangle is equilateral. In an equilateral triangle, \( a = b = c \) and all angles \( C = 60^\circ \). ### Step 7: Calculate \( b + c \) for equilateral triangle If \( a = 2 \), then \( b = 2 \) and \( c = 2 \): \[ b + c = 2 + 2 = 4 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the value of \( b + c \) is: \[ \boxed{4} \]
