The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we will use the Law of Cosines. The question states that we have a triangle with two sides and the included angle. The sides are \( a = 3 + \sqrt{3} \), \( b = 3 - \sqrt{3} \), and the included angle \( C = 60^\circ \). We need to find the length of the third side \( c \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - \( a = 3 + \sqrt{3} \) - \( b = 3 - \sqrt{3} \) - \( C = 60^\circ \) 2. **Apply the Law of Cosines**: The Law of Cosines states that: \[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos(C) \] Substituting the values we have: \[ c^2 = (3 + \sqrt{3})^2 + (3 - \sqrt{3})^2 - 2(3 + \sqrt{3})(3 - \sqrt{3}) \cos(60^\circ) \] 3. **Calculate \( a^2 \) and \( b^2 \)**: \[ a^2 = (3 + \sqrt{3})^2 = 9 + 6\sqrt{3} + 3 = 12 + 6\sqrt{3} \] \[ b^2 = (3 - \sqrt{3})^2 = 9 - 6\sqrt{3} + 3 = 12 - 6\sqrt{3} \] 4. **Calculate \( 2ab \cos(60^\circ) \)**: Since \( \cos(60^\circ) = \frac{1}{2} \): \[ 2ab \cos(60^\circ) = 2(3 + \sqrt{3})(3 - \sqrt{3}) \cdot \frac{1}{2} \] First, calculate \( ab \): \[ ab = (3 + \sqrt{3})(3 - \sqrt{3}) = 9 - 3 = 6 \] Therefore: \[ 2ab \cos(60^\circ) = 6 \] 5. **Substitute back into the equation**: \[ c^2 = (12 + 6\sqrt{3}) + (12 - 6\sqrt{3}) - 6 \] Simplifying: \[ c^2 = 12 + 6\sqrt{3} + 12 - 6\sqrt{3} - 6 = 18 \] 6. **Find \( c \)**: \[ c = \sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt{2} \] ### Final Answer: The length of the third side \( c \) is \( 3\sqrt{2} \).
