Which of the following holds goods for any triangle ABC ?

A

`(cos A)/(a) + (cos B)/(b) + (cos C)/(c ) = (a^(2) + b^(2) + c^(2))/(2abc)`

B

`(sin A)/(a) + (sin B)/(b) + (sin C)/(c ) = (3)/(2R)`

C

`(cos A)/(a) + (cos B)/(b) + (cos C)/(c ) = (2abc)/(a^(2) + b^(2) + c^(2))``

D

`(sin 2A)/(a^(2)) = (sin 2B)/(b^(2)) = (sin 2C)/(c^(2))`

The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options holds true for any triangle ABC, we will analyze the sine rule and the cosine rule. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Sine Rule**: The sine rule states that for any triangle ABC, the ratios of the lengths of the sides to the sines of their opposite angles are equal: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} = 2R \] where \( R \) is the circumradius of the triangle. 2. **Expressing the Sine Rule**: From the sine rule, we can express: \[ \frac{\sin A}{a} = \frac{1}{2R}, \quad \frac{\sin B}{b} = \frac{1}{2R}, \quad \frac{\sin C}{c} = \frac{1}{2R} \] Thus, we can conclude: \[ \frac{\sin A}{a} + \frac{\sin B}{b} + \frac{\sin C}{c} = \frac{1}{2R} + \frac{1}{2R} + \frac{1}{2R} = \frac{3}{2R} \] 3. **Understanding the Cosine Rule**: The cosine rule states that for any triangle ABC: \[ a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos A \] \[ b^2 = a^2 + c^2 - 2ac \cos B \] \[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos C \] 4. **Expressing the Cosine Rule**: We can rearrange the cosine rule to express \( \cos A \), \( \cos B \), and \( \cos C \): \[ \cos A = \frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc}, \quad \cos B = \frac{a^2 + c^2 - b^2}{2ac}, \quad \cos C = \frac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab} \] 5. **Analyzing the Options**: - For the sine rule, we derived that \( \frac{\sin A}{a} + \frac{\sin B}{b} + \frac{\sin C}{c} = \frac{3}{2R} \) holds true for any triangle. - For the cosine rule, the expressions for \( \cos A \), \( \cos B \), and \( \cos C \) do not yield a simple sum or ratio that holds universally for all triangles. 6. **Conclusion**: The sine rule holds true for any triangle ABC, while the cosine rule does not yield a similar universal statement. Therefore, the correct options are those related to the sine rule. ### Final Answer: The options that hold true for any triangle ABC are based on the sine rule.
