The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the cosine rule to find the value of side \( c \) in triangle \( ABC \) where \( a = 4 \), \( b = 3 \), and \( A = 60^\circ \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write down the cosine rule**: The cosine rule states that for any triangle with sides \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \), and corresponding angles \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \): \[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos A \] 2. **Substitute the known values**: Here, we have: - \( a = 4 \) - \( b = 3 \) - \( A = 60^\circ \) Plugging these values into the cosine rule: \[ c^2 = 4^2 + 3^2 - 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 3 \cdot \cos(60^\circ) \] 3. **Calculate \( \cos(60^\circ) \)**: We know that \( \cos(60^\circ) = \frac{1}{2} \). 4. **Substitute \( \cos(60^\circ) \) into the equation**: \[ c^2 = 16 + 9 - 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \] 5. **Simplify the equation**: \[ c^2 = 16 + 9 - 12 \] \[ c^2 = 13 \] 6. **Rearrange to form a quadratic equation**: To find \( c \), we can rearrange the equation: \[ c^2 - 3c - 7 = 0 \] 7. **Identify the equation**: The equation \( c^2 - 3c - 7 = 0 \) is the one we need, which corresponds to option 1. ### Final Answer: The value of \( c \) is the root of the equation: \[ c^2 - 3c - 7 = 0 \]
