Angles dilemma

Geometry Level 3

In a triangle A B C ABC , which of the following are not possible? (Length of side opposite to A \angle A is a a .)

  1. tan A + tan B + tan C = 0 \tan A +\tan B + \tan C =0
  2. sin A 2 = sin B 3 = sin C \dfrac {\sin A}{2}=\dfrac {\sin B}{3}=\sin C
  3. ( a + b ) 2 = c 2 + a b (a+b)^2=c^2+ab , and 2 ( sin A + cos A ) = 3 \sqrt 2 (\sin A + \cos A)=\sqrt 3
  4. sin A + sin B = 3 + 1 2 2 \sin A+\sin B=-\dfrac {\sqrt3+1}{2\sqrt 2} , cos A cos B = sin A sin B = 3 4 \cos A \cos B = \sin A \sin B = \dfrac {\sqrt 3}{4}

Give your answer as the concatenation of the serial numbers of the statements which are not possible. For example, if only statements 2 and 3 are wrong, give your answer as 23.


The answer is 124.

1 ) 1) tan A + tan B + tan C = 0 \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = 0

We know ,in a traingle A B C ABC ,
t a n A + tan B + tan C = 1 tan A tan B tan C \ \boxed{tan A + \tan B + \tan C = 1 - \tan A\tan B\tan C } 0 = 1 tan A tan B tan C tan A tan B tan C = 1 \Rightarrow 0 = 1 - \tan A\tan B\tan C \Rightarrow \tan A\tan B\tan C = 1

.Such triangle is not possible as the angles wont add up to 18 0 180^\circ

2 ) 2) Using Sine Rule ,we can see that the sides will be, a = 2 k , b = 3 k , c = k a =2k , b = 3k , c = k We can observe that , a + c = 2 k + k = 3 k = b \boxed { a + c = 2k + k = 3k = b }

Such traingle is not possible as voilates the property of any traingle that sum of any two sides of a traingle is greater than the third side, i.e,

a + b > c , a + c > b , b + c > a \boxed{a + b > c, a + c > b , b + c > a}

3 ) 3) As seen above, ( a + b ) 2 > c 2 (a + b) ^{2} > c^{2} . Hence, the equation will hold true for some values of a , b , c . a, b, c.

Divide both sides by 2 2 , we get, 2 ( sin A + cos A ) 2 = 3 2 \dfrac {\sqrt{2}(\sin A + \cos A)}{2} = \dfrac {\sqrt{3}}{2}

sin A cos 4 5 + c o s A sin 4 5 = 3 2 \sin A \cos 45^\circ + \ cos A \sin 45^\circ = \dfrac {\sqrt{3}}{2} sin ( A + 4 5 ) = sin ( 6 0 ) A = 1 5 \Rightarrow \sin(A + 45^\circ) = \sin(60^\circ) \Rightarrow A = 15^\circ

4 ) 4) cos ( A + B ) = cos A cos B sin A sin B = 3 4 3 4 = 0 A + B = 9 0 \cos (A + B) = \cos A \cos B - \sin A \sin B = \dfrac {\sqrt{3}}{4} - \dfrac {\sqrt{3}}{4} = 0\Rightarrow A + B = 90^\circ

cos ( A B ) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B = 3 4 + 3 4 = 3 2 A B = 6 0 \cos(A - B) = \cos A \cos B + \sin A \sin B = \dfrac {\sqrt{3}}{4} -+\dfrac {\sqrt{3}}{4} = \dfrac {\sqrt{3}}{2} \Rightarrow A - B = 60^\circ

A = + 6 0 , 6 0 , B = + 3 0 , 3 0 sin A + sin B = 3 2 + 1 2 = 3 + 1 2 3 + 1 2 2 A= +60^\circ, -60^\circ, B = +30^\circ, -30^\circ \Rightarrow \sin A + \sin B = -\dfrac {\sqrt{3}}{2} + \dfrac {-1}{2} = -\dfrac {\sqrt{3} + 1}{2} \neq -\dfrac {\sqrt{3} + 1}{2\sqrt{2}}

Hence, 1 , 2 and 4 are wrong,

A N S W E R : 1 2 4 = 124 \boxed{ANSWER : 1||2||4 = 124}
