The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the Law of Cosines and the given information about triangle ABC. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - Angle A = \( \frac{\pi}{6} \) (which is 30 degrees) - The ratio of sides \( b:c = 2:\sqrt{3} \) 2. **Express the Sides in Terms of a Variable:** - Let \( b = 2k \) and \( c = \sqrt{3}k \) for some positive value \( k \). 3. **Use the Law of Cosines:** The Law of Cosines states: \[ a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos A \] Substitute the known values: \[ a^2 = (2k)^2 + (\sqrt{3}k)^2 - 2(2k)(\sqrt{3}k) \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) \] 4. **Calculate \( \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) \):** \[ \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] 5. **Substituting Values:** \[ a^2 = 4k^2 + 3k^2 - 2(2k)(\sqrt{3}k) \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \] Simplifying further: \[ a^2 = 4k^2 + 3k^2 - 2(2k)(\sqrt{3}k) \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] \[ = 4k^2 + 3k^2 - 2k^2 \cdot 3 \] \[ = 7k^2 - 6k^2 = k^2 \] 6. **Finding the Value of \( a \):** \[ a^2 = k^2 \implies a = k \] 7. **Finding Angle B Using the Law of Cosines Again:** Now we need to find angle B using: \[ \cos B = \frac{a^2 + c^2 - b^2}{2ac} \] Substitute the values: \[ \cos B = \frac{k^2 + (\sqrt{3}k)^2 - (2k)^2}{2(k)(\sqrt{3}k)} \] \[ = \frac{k^2 + 3k^2 - 4k^2}{2k^2\sqrt{3}} = \frac{0}{2k^2\sqrt{3}} = 0 \] 8. **Finding Angle B:** Since \( \cos B = 0 \): \[ B = \frac{\pi}{2} \] ### Final Answer: Angle B is \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) radians.
