The angles of a triangle are in A.P and the greatest angle is double the least angle, then sine of the third angle is
- A \(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
- B \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)
- C \(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
- D \(0\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let the angles of the triangle be \(A-D\), \(A\), and \(A+D\).
The sum of the angles of a triangle is \(180^{\circ}\).
\((A-D) + A + (A+D) = 180^{\circ}\)
\(3A = 180^{\circ} \Rightarrow A = 60^{\circ}\)
The greatest angle is double the least angle.
\(A+D = 2(A-D)\)
Substituting \(A = 60^{\circ}\):
\(60^{\circ}+D = 2(60^{\circ}-D)\)
\(60^{\circ}+D = 120^{\circ}-2D\)
\(3D = 60^{\circ} \Rightarrow D = 20^{\circ}\)
The angles of the triangle are \(40^{\circ}\), \(60^{\circ}\), and \(80^{\circ}\).
The third angle (middle angle) is \(60^{\circ}\).
The sine of the third angle is \(\sin 60^{\circ} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\).
Answer: \(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
The sum of the angles of a triangle is \(180^{\circ}\).
\((A-D) + A + (A+D) = 180^{\circ}\)
\(3A = 180^{\circ} \Rightarrow A = 60^{\circ}\)
The greatest angle is double the least angle.
\(A+D = 2(A-D)\)
Substituting \(A = 60^{\circ}\):
\(60^{\circ}+D = 2(60^{\circ}-D)\)
\(60^{\circ}+D = 120^{\circ}-2D\)
\(3D = 60^{\circ} \Rightarrow D = 20^{\circ}\)
The angles of the triangle are \(40^{\circ}\), \(60^{\circ}\), and \(80^{\circ}\).
The third angle (middle angle) is \(60^{\circ}\).
The sine of the third angle is \(\sin 60^{\circ} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\).
