The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \sin A + \cot C \) in triangle \( \Delta ABC \) where \( \angle B = 90^\circ \) and the ratio \( AB:BC = 2:1 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Triangle Dimensions**: Since \( AB:BC = 2:1 \), we can assign lengths to the sides. Let: - \( AB = 2k \) (opposite to angle C) - \( BC = k \) (opposite to angle A) 2. **Calculate the Hypotenuse**: Using the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse \( AC \) can be calculated as: \[ AC = \sqrt{(AB)^2 + (BC)^2} = \sqrt{(2k)^2 + (k)^2} = \sqrt{4k^2 + k^2} = \sqrt{5k^2} = k\sqrt{5} \] 3. **Find \( \sin A \)**: The sine of angle A is given by the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse: \[ \sin A = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{k}{k\sqrt{5}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \] 4. **Find \( \cot C \)**: The cotangent of angle C is given by the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side: \[ \cot C = \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{2k}{k} = 2 \] 5. **Combine \( \sin A \) and \( \cot C \)**: Now we can find \( \sin A + \cot C \): \[ \sin A + \cot C = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} + 2 \] 6. **Combine into a Single Fraction**: To combine these, we can express \( 2 \) as a fraction: \[ 2 = \frac{2\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}} \] Therefore, \[ \sin A + \cot C = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} + \frac{2\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{1 + 2\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of \( \sin A + \cot C \) is: \[ \frac{1 + 2\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}} \]
