The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the largest angle of a triangle given the sides in the ratio \(2 : \sqrt{6} : (\sqrt{3} + 1)\). We can use the property that the ratio of the sides of a triangle is equal to the ratio of the sines of the angles opposite those sides. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the sides and their ratios**: Let the sides of the triangle be \(a = 2k\), \(b = \sqrt{6}k\), and \(c = (\sqrt{3} + 1)k\) for some positive constant \(k\). The ratios of the sides are \(2 : \sqrt{6} : (\sqrt{3} + 1)\). 2. **Set up the sine ratio**: According to the property of triangles, we have: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} \] This implies: \[ \frac{2k}{\sin A} = \frac{\sqrt{6}k}{\sin B} = \frac{(\sqrt{3} + 1)k}{\sin C} \] 3. **Simplify the ratios**: We can ignore \(k\) since it is a common factor: \[ \frac{2}{\sin A} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sin B} = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{\sin C} \] 4. **Express the sines in terms of the sides**: From the ratios, we can express the sines: \[ \sin A = \frac{2 \sin B}{\sqrt{6}} \quad \text{and} \quad \sin C = \frac{(\sqrt{3} + 1) \sin B}{\sqrt{6}} \] 5. **Use known sine values**: We can assign angles based on known sine values: - \(\sin 45^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) - \(\sin 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) - \(\sin 75^\circ = \sin(45^\circ + 30^\circ) = \sin 45^\circ \cos 30^\circ + \cos 45^\circ \sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2\sqrt{2}}\) 6. **Assign angles based on the sine values**: - From the ratios, we can conclude: - \(A\) corresponds to \(45^\circ\) - \(B\) corresponds to \(60^\circ\) - \(C\) corresponds to \(75^\circ\) 7. **Identify the largest angle**: The largest angle among \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) is \(C\), which is \(75^\circ\). ### Conclusion: The largest angle of the triangle is \(75^\circ\).
