If `sinA=sin^2Ba n d2cos^2A=3cos^2B` then the triangle `A B C` is right angled (b) obtuse angled (c)isosceles (d) equilateral

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`sinA = sin^2B ->(1)`
`2cos^2A = 3cos^2B`
`=>2cos^2A = 3(1-sin^2B)`
From (1),
`=>2(1-sin^2A) = 3(1-sinA)`
`=>2sin^2A - 3sinA+1 = 0`
`=>2sin^2A - 2sinA-sinA+1 = 0`
`=>2sinA(sinA-1)-1(sinA-1) = 0`
