In \(\triangle \mathrm{ABC}\), with usual notations, \(2 \mathrm{ac} \sin \left(\frac{1}{2}(\mathrm{~A}-\mathrm{B}+\mathrm{C})\right)\) is equal to

  1. A \(a^2+b^2-c^2\)
  2. B \(c^2+a^2-b^2\)
  3. C \(b^2-c^2-a^2\)
  4. D \(c^2-a^2-b^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(c^2+a^2-b^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} 2 \mathrm{ac} \sin \frac{\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{B}+\mathrm{C}}{2} & =2 \mathrm{ac} \sin \frac{\pi-2 \mathrm{~B}}{2} \\ & =2 \mathrm{ac} \cos \mathrm{B}\end{aligned}\)
\(
=2 \mathrm{ac} \frac{\mathrm{c}^2+\mathrm{a}^2-\mathrm{b}^2}{2 \mathrm{ca}}
\)....[By cosine rule \(]\)
\(=c^2+a^2-b^2\)
