If cosA/a=cosB/b=cosC/cand the side a=2,...

If cosA/a=cosB/b=cosC/cand the side a=2, then area of triangle is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`sqrt3` sq. unit
`(cos A)/(a) = (cos B)/(b) = (cos C)/(c)`
or `(cos A)/(2R sin A) = (cos B)/(2R sin B) = (cos C)/(2R sin C)`
or `tan A = tan B = tan C`
Hence, triangle is equilateral.
Therefore, Area of triangle `= (sqrt3)/(4) a^(2) = sqrt3` (as a = 2)
