The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given equation in the context of triangle properties. The equation given is: \[ \sin A \sin B = \frac{ab}{c^2} \] where \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) are the angles of triangle \( ABC \), and \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are the sides opposite to these angles respectively. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Start with the given equation**: \[ \sin A \sin B = \frac{ab}{c^2} \] 2. **Use the Law of Sines**: According to the Law of Sines, we have: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} \] From this, we can express \( a \) and \( b \) in terms of \( c \) and the angles: \[ a = \frac{c \sin A}{\sin C}, \quad b = \frac{c \sin B}{\sin C} \] 3. **Substitute \( a \) and \( b \) into the equation**: Substitute these expressions into the original equation: \[ \sin A \sin B = \frac{\left(\frac{c \sin A}{\sin C}\right)\left(\frac{c \sin B}{\sin C}\right)}{c^2} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ \sin A \sin B = \frac{c^2 \sin A \sin B}{c^2 \sin^2 C} \] 4. **Cancel \( \sin A \sin B \) and \( c^2 \)**: If \( \sin A \sin B \neq 0 \), we can divide both sides by \( \sin A \sin B \): \[ 1 = \frac{1}{\sin^2 C} \] This implies: \[ \sin^2 C = 1 \] 5. **Find angle \( C \)**: Taking the square root of both sides, we find: \[ \sin C = 1 \] This means: \[ C = 90^\circ \] 6. **Conclusion**: Since angle \( C \) is \( 90^\circ \), triangle \( ABC \) is a right-angled triangle. ### Final Answer: The triangle is a **right-angled triangle**.
