The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given equation in triangle ABC: \[ 2 \frac{\cos A}{a} + \frac{\cos B}{b} + 2 \frac{\cos C}{c} = \frac{a}{bc} + \frac{b}{ca} \] ### Step 1: Apply the Cosine Rule Using the cosine rule, we know that: \[ \cos A = \frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc}, \quad \cos B = \frac{a^2 + c^2 - b^2}{2ac}, \quad \cos C = \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab} \] Substituting these into the equation gives: \[ 2 \frac{\frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc}}{a} + \frac{\frac{a^2 + c^2 - b^2}{2ac}}{b} + 2 \frac{\frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab}}{c} = \frac{a}{bc} + \frac{b}{ca} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the Left Side The left side simplifies to: \[ \frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{ab} + \frac{a^2 + c^2 - b^2}{2bc} + \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{ab} \] Combining the terms gives: \[ \frac{(b^2 + c^2 - a^2) + (a^2 + c^2 - b^2) + 2(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)}{2bc} \] ### Step 3: Combine and Rearrange Combining all terms in the numerator: \[ = \frac{2a^2 + 2b^2 + 2c^2 - 2c^2}{2bc} = \frac{2a^2 + 2b^2}{2bc} = \frac{a^2 + b^2}{bc} \] ### Step 4: Equate the Two Sides Now we equate the left side to the right side: \[ \frac{a^2 + b^2}{bc} = \frac{a}{bc} + \frac{b}{ca} \] Multiply through by \(bc\): \[ a^2 + b^2 = a + \frac{b^2}{a} \] ### Step 5: Rearranging the Equation Rearranging gives: \[ a^2 - a - b^2 = 0 \] This is a quadratic equation in \(a\). ### Step 6: Solve for \(a\) Using the quadratic formula \(a = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\): \[ a = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 4b^2}}{2} \] ### Step 7: Analyze the Triangle Since we are looking for angle \(A\), we can use the Pythagorean theorem: \[ a^2 = b^2 + c^2 \] This indicates that triangle ABC is a right triangle with angle \(A\) being \(90^\circ\). ### Conclusion Thus, the value of angle \(A\) is: \[ \boxed{90^\circ} \]
