The correct Answer is:
To determine if there exist triangles ABC satisfying the given relations, we will analyze the equations step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first equation We have the equation: \[ \sin A + \sin B = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2} \] To check if this can hold for angles A and B, we will find the maximum value of \(\sin A + \sin B\). **Hint:** The maximum value of \(\sin A + \sin B\) occurs when both angles A and B are \(90^\circ\). ### Step 2: Calculate the maximum value of \(\sin A + \sin B\) The maximum value of \(\sin A + \sin B\) is: \[ \sin A + \sin B \leq \sin 90^\circ + \sin 90^\circ = 1 + 1 = 2 \] Now we need to check if \(\frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2} \leq 2\). **Hint:** Simplify \(\frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2}\) to see if it is less than or equal to 2. ### Step 3: Simplify \(\frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2}\) Calculating: \[ \sqrt{3} \approx 1.732 \implies \frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2} \approx \frac{1.732 + 1}{2} = \frac{2.732}{2} \approx 1.366 \] Since \(1.366 < 2\), the first equation can hold. **Hint:** Check if there are specific angles A and B that satisfy this equation. ### Step 4: Check specific angles for the first equation Let’s try \(A = 60^\circ\) and \(B = 30^\circ\): \[ \sin 60^\circ + \sin 30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2} \] This satisfies the first equation. **Hint:** Now, we need to check the second equation. ### Step 5: Analyze the second equation The second equation is: \[ \cos A \cos B = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} = \sin A \sin B \] We will first check \(\cos A \cos B\) for \(A = 60^\circ\) and \(B = 30^\circ\). **Hint:** Calculate \(\cos 60^\circ\) and \(\cos 30^\circ\). ### Step 6: Calculate \(\cos A \cos B\) Calculating: \[ \cos 60^\circ = \frac{1}{2}, \quad \cos 30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Thus, \[ \cos A \cos B = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \] This satisfies the first part of the second equation. **Hint:** Now, we need to check \(\sin A \sin B\). ### Step 7: Calculate \(\sin A \sin B\) Calculating: \[ \sin 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \quad \sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2} \] Thus, \[ \sin A \sin B = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \] This satisfies the second part of the second equation. ### Conclusion Since both equations are satisfied with angles \(A = 60^\circ\), \(B = 30^\circ\), and \(C = 90^\circ\), we conclude that: **Answer:** Yes, there exists a triangle ABC satisfying the given relations.
