The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the quadratic equation given and the relationships between the roots and the sides of the triangle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Quadratic Equation**: The given quadratic equation is \( abx^2 - c^2x + ab = 0 \). 2. **Roots of the Quadratic**: Let the roots of the quadratic be \( \tan A \) and \( \tan B \). According to Vieta's formulas, the sum and product of the roots can be expressed in terms of the coefficients of the quadratic equation. 3. **Sum of Roots**: From Vieta's formulas, the sum of the roots \( \tan A + \tan B \) is given by: \[ \tan A + \tan B = \frac{c^2}{ab} \] 4. **Product of Roots**: The product of the roots \( \tan A \tan B \) is given by: \[ \tan A \tan B = \frac{ab}{ab} = 1 \] 5. **Using the Tangent Addition Formula**: We know that: \[ \tan(A + B) = \frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ \tan(A + B) = \frac{\frac{c^2}{ab}}{1 - 1} = \text{undefined} \] This implies that \( A + B = 90^\circ \) (or \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) radians). 6. **Using the Cosine Rule**: Since \( A + B + C = 180^\circ \), we have: \[ C = 90^\circ \] This indicates that the triangle is a right triangle. 7. **Finding \( \cos C \)**: For a right triangle, \( \cos C = 0 \) since \( C = 90^\circ \). 8. **Conclusion**: The relationships derived from the roots of the quadratic indicate that \( C \) is the right angle of the triangle formed by sides \( a, b, c \). ### Final Result: The triangle is a right triangle with \( C = 90^\circ \).
