sides are in the ratio

Note: Students should note here that most of the expressions containing the
cyclic factor associating with ‘–’ reduces to 0.
4. (c) x  2 x  7 x  180 o  x  18 o
Hence the angles are 18 o , 36 o , 126 o

Smallest side  sin(18 o ) and ratio  sin126o  .

 a 2  d 2  2ad  a 2  a 2  d 2  2ad
 a  4d  d  a .

Hence the sides are , a, i.e., in ratio 3 : 4 : 5.

7. (b) C  90 o , A  30 o , c  20 ,
then a  c sin A  10 and b
c sin B
 10 3 .
sin C sin C

Trick : Since the angles are 30 o ,60 o ,90 o , therefore sides must be 1 : 3 : 2 .
Hence a  10 , b  10 3 .
8. (b) Angles are x  2 x  3 x  180 o or 30o, 60o and 90o, therefore sides are in ratio of
sin 30 o : sin 60 o : sin 90 o

 : :1 1 : 3 : 2 .
2 2

Note: This is a fact. We have used it in so many questions.


9. (b) Here b sin A  8 sin 30 o  4, a  7
Thus, we have b  a  b sin A .
Hence angle B has two solutions.

10. (d) Hence c sin B  4 sin  2 3  b( 3)
3
Thus, we have b  c sin B .
Hence no triangle is possible i.e., the number of triangles that can be
constructed is nil.
