If \(\Delta=a^2-(b-c)^2\), is the area of the \(\triangle A B C\), then \(\tan A\) is equal to

  1. A \(\frac{1}{16}\)
  2. B \(\frac{8}{15}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{4}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{8}{15}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta=a^2-(b-c)^2\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \Delta=(a+b-c)(a-b+c)\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \Delta=(2 s-c-c)(2 s-b-b)\) \((\because 2 s=a+b+c)\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \Delta=(2 s-2 c)(2 s-2 b)\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \Delta=4(s-b)(s-c)\) \(\because \Delta=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\)…
