The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we will use the given information about the angles and sides of triangle ABC. ### Step 1: Write down the given information We know that: - \( \angle A + \angle B = 120^\circ \) - \( a = \sqrt{3} + 1 \) - \( b = \sqrt{3} - 1 \) ### Step 2: Use Napier's analogy According to Napier's analogy, we can express the relationship between the angles and sides of the triangle. We have: \[ \frac{a - b}{a + b} = \frac{\cot(\frac{C}{2})}{\tan(\frac{A - B}{2})} \] Where \( C = 180^\circ - (A + B) = 60^\circ \). ### Step 3: Calculate \( C \) From the angle sum property of triangles: \[ C = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ \] ### Step 4: Substitute values into Napier's formula Now, substituting the values of \( a \) and \( b \): \[ \frac{(\sqrt{3} + 1) - (\sqrt{3} - 1)}{(\sqrt{3} + 1) + (\sqrt{3} - 1)} = \frac{\cot(30^\circ)}{\tan(\frac{A - B}{2})} \] Calculating the left side: \[ \frac{(\sqrt{3} + 1 - \sqrt{3} + 1)}{(\sqrt{3} + 1 + \sqrt{3} - 1)} = \frac{2}{2\sqrt{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] ### Step 5: Find \( \cot(30^\circ) \) We know that: \[ \cot(30^\circ) = \sqrt{3} \] Thus, we can rewrite the equation: \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\tan(\frac{A - B}{2})} \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( \tan(\frac{A - B}{2}) \) Cross-multiplying gives: \[ \tan(\frac{A - B}{2}) = 3 \] ### Step 7: Find \( \frac{A - B}{2} \) Taking the inverse tangent: \[ \frac{A - B}{2} = \tan^{-1}(3) \] This implies: \[ A - B = 2 \tan^{-1}(3) \] ### Step 8: Set up the equations Now we have two equations: 1. \( A + B = 120^\circ \) 2. \( A - B = 2 \tan^{-1}(3) \) ### Step 9: Solve the system of equations Adding the two equations: \[ 2A = 120^\circ + 2 \tan^{-1}(3) \] Thus, \[ A = 60^\circ + \tan^{-1}(3) \] Subtracting the second equation from the first: \[ 2B = 120^\circ - 2 \tan^{-1}(3) \] Thus, \[ B = 60^\circ - \tan^{-1}(3) \] ### Step 10: Find the ratio \( \frac{A}{B} \) Now, we need to find the ratio \( A:B \): \[ \frac{A}{B} = \frac{60^\circ + \tan^{-1}(3)}{60^\circ - \tan^{-1}(3)} \] ### Step 11: Simplify the ratio Using the approximate value of \( \tan^{-1}(3) \) (which is approximately \( 71.57^\circ \)): - \( A \approx 131.57^\circ \) - \( B \approx -11.57^\circ \) Thus, the ratio \( A:B \) can be approximated as: \[ \frac{A}{B} \approx \frac{131.57}{-11.57} \approx 7:1 \] ### Final Result The ratio \( \angle A : \angle B = 7 : 1 \). ---
