Question

If in a ΔABC\Delta ABC acos2(C2)+ccos2(A2)=3b2,a\,{\cos ^2}\left( {{C \over 2}} \right) + c\,{\cos ^2}\left( {{A \over 2}} \right) = {{3b} \over 2}, then the sides a,ba, b and cc :

Options

Solution

If acos2(C2)+ccos2(A2)=3b2a\,{\cos ^2}\left( {{C \over 2}} \right) + c\,{\cos ^2}\left( {{A \over 2}} \right) = {{3b} \over 2} a[cosC+1]+c[cosA+1]=3ba\left[ {\cos C + 1} \right] + c\left[ {\cos A + 1} \right] = 3b (a+c)+(acosC+ccosB)=3b\left( {a + c} \right) + \left( {a\cos C + c\cos \,B} \right) = 3b a+c+b=3ba + c + b = 3b or a+c=2ba + c = 2b or a,b,ca,b,c are in A.P.A.P.
