Question

In a $\triangle\text{ABC},$ if $\angle\text{B}=60^{\circ},$ prove that (a + b + c) = 3ca

✓

Answer

Given, $\angle\text{B}=60^{\circ}$ We know that, $\cos\text{B}=\frac{\text{a}^2+\text{c}^2-\text{b}^2}{2\text{ac}}$ $\Rightarrow\cos60^{\circ}=\frac{\text{a}^2+\text{c}^2-\text{b}^2}{2\text{ac}}$ $\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\text{a}^2+\text{c}^2-\text{b}^2}{2\text{ac}}$ $\Big(\because\cos60^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}\Big)$ $\Rightarrow\text{ac}=\text{a}^2+\text{c}^2-\text{b}^2$ $\Rightarrow3\text{ac}-2\text{ac}=\text{a}^2+\text{c}^2-\text{b}^2$ $\Rightarrow3\text{ac}=\text{a}^2+\text{c}^2-\text{b}^2+2\text{ac}$ $\Rightarrow3\text{ac}=\text{a}^2+\text{c}^2+2\text{ac}-\text{b}^2$ $\Rightarrow3\text{ac}=(\text{a + c})^2-\text{b}^2$ $\Rightarrow3\text{ac}=(\text{a + c + b})\text{(a + c}-\text{b})$ $\Rightarrow3\text{ac}=(\text{a + b + c})(\text{a}-\text{b + c})$ Hence proved.
