The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the equation given in the triangle \( ABC \): \[ \cos A \cos B + \sin A \sin B \sin C = 1 \] ### Step 1: Multiply the equation by 2 We first multiply the entire equation by 2: \[ 2(\cos A \cos B + \sin A \sin B \sin C) = 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2 \cos A \cos B + 2 \sin A \sin B \sin C = 2 \] ### Step 2: Rewrite the right-hand side We can express the right-hand side as the sum of squares: \[ 2 = \sin^2 A + \cos^2 A + \sin^2 B + \cos^2 B \] ### Step 3: Rearranging the equation Now we rearrange the left-hand side: \[ 2 \cos A \cos B + 2 \sin A \sin B \sin C = \sin^2 A + \cos^2 A + \sin^2 B + \cos^2 B \] This leads us to: \[ \sin^2 A + \sin^2 B - 2 \sin A \sin B + \cos^2 A + \cos^2 B - 2 \cos A \cos B = 0 \] ### Step 4: Grouping terms We can group the terms: \[ (\sin A - \sin B)^2 + (\cos A - \cos B)^2 + 2 \sin A \sin B (1 - \sin C) = 0 \] ### Step 5: Analyzing the equation For the sum of squares to equal zero, each term must be zero: 1. \((\sin A - \sin B)^2 = 0 \Rightarrow \sin A = \sin B\) 2. \((\cos A - \cos B)^2 = 0 \Rightarrow \cos A = \cos B\) 3. \(1 - \sin C = 0 \Rightarrow \sin C = 1\) From \(\sin A = \sin B\) and \(\cos A = \cos B\), we conclude that: \[ A = B \] From \(\sin C = 1\), we find: \[ C = 90^\circ \] ### Step 6: Finding the angles Since \(A + B + C = 180^\circ\) and \(C = 90^\circ\): \[ A + B = 90^\circ \] Thus, if \(A = B\), then: \[ 2A = 90^\circ \Rightarrow A = B = 45^\circ \] ### Step 7: Finding the sides' ratios Now, we know the angles: - \(A = 45^\circ\) - \(B = 45^\circ\) - \(C = 90^\circ\) Using the sine rule, the sides are proportional to: \[ \frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} \] Substituting the values: \[ \frac{a}{\sin 45^\circ} = \frac{b}{\sin 45^\circ} = \frac{c}{\sin 90^\circ} \] This gives us: \[ \frac{a}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}} = \frac{b}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}} = \frac{c}{1} \] Thus, the sides are proportional to: \[ 1 : 1 : \sqrt{2} \] ### Final Answer The sides are proportional to \(1 : 1 : \sqrt{2}\). ---
