The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given equation in the context of triangle ABC. The equation provided is: \[ a^2 \sin B = b^2 + c^2 \] We will use the cosine rule and properties of triangles to deduce the nature of angle A. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Start with the given equation:** \[ a^2 \sin B = b^2 + c^2 \] 2. **Rearrange the equation:** Subtract \( a^2 \) from both sides: \[ a^2 \sin B - a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - a^2 \] This can be rewritten as: \[ a^2 (\sin B - 1) = b^2 + c^2 - a^2 \] 3. **Use the cosine rule:** According to the cosine rule, we have: \[ \cos A = \frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc} \] Therefore, we can express \( b^2 + c^2 - a^2 \) as: \[ b^2 + c^2 - a^2 = 2bc \cos A \] 4. **Substitute into the equation:** Substitute this back into our rearranged equation: \[ a^2 (\sin B - 1) = 2bc \cos A \] 5. **Analyze the signs:** - Since \( a, b, c \) are lengths of the sides of the triangle, they are positive. - The term \( \sin B - 1 \) must be negative because \( \sin B \) can only reach a maximum of 1, and it cannot equal 1 unless \( B = 90^\circ \). Thus, \( \sin B - 1 < 0 \). 6. **Conclude about \( \cos A \):** Since \( a^2 (\sin B - 1) < 0 \) and \( 2bc > 0 \), we have: \[ \cos A < 0 \] This implies that angle A must be obtuse (greater than \( 90^\circ \)). 7. **Final conclusion:** Therefore, we conclude that: \[ \text{Angle A is obtuse.} \]
