The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the type of triangle given that \( \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = 3\sqrt{3} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Angles of a Triangle**: We know that in any triangle, the sum of the angles \( A + B + C = 180^\circ \) or in radians, \( A + B + C = \pi \). 2. **Using the Tangent Addition Formula**: We can express \( \tan(A + B) \) using the formula: \[ \tan(A + B) = \frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B} \] Since \( C = 180^\circ - (A + B) \), we have: \[ \tan C = \tan(\pi - (A + B)) = -\tan(A + B) \] Therefore, we can write: \[ \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = \tan A + \tan B - \tan(A + B) \] 3. **Substituting the Given Condition**: We are given that: \[ \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = 3\sqrt{3} \] This implies: \[ \tan A + \tan B - \tan(A + B) = 3\sqrt{3} \] 4. **Using the Identity for \( \tan(A + B) \)**: From the tangent addition formula: \[ \tan(A + B) = \frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B} \] We can express: \[ \tan A + \tan B = \tan(A + B)(1 - \tan A \tan B) \] 5. **Assuming Equal Angles**: Let's assume \( A = B = C = 60^\circ \). Then: \[ \tan 60^\circ = \sqrt{3} \] Therefore: \[ \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{3} = 3\sqrt{3} \] 6. **Conclusion**: Since \( \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = 3\sqrt{3} \) holds true when \( A = B = C = 60^\circ \), we conclude that the triangle is an **equilateral triangle**. ### Final Answer: The triangle is an **equilateral triangle**. ---
