No need to use the Sine Law.
2 a b a 2 + b 2 = 2 ⟹ 2 1 ⋅ a b c 2 = 2 ⟹ 2 1 ⋅ a c ⋅ b c = 2 ⟹ 2 sin A sin C 1 = 2
...or once you have 2 a b a 2 + b 2 = 2 solve that a 2 + b 2 = 4 a b a 2 − 4 a b + b 2 = 0 Thus using the quadratic formula: a = ( 2 ± 3 ) b tan ( A C B ) = b a so using the inverse of tan the two angles are 7 5 ∘ a n d 1 5 ∘
mind blowing
but by using pythagores theorem in ABC and given condition we r getting ab =bc then the angles must be equal and the diifference will be zero
find the relation b/w radius and b,h. where b is the base and h, the height . substituting in Pythagoras theorem you will get a homogeneous eqn in b and h. transform it into quadratic in X where X is b/h or tangent of the angle C. solving TAN C is obtained which is 15 degrees
As triangle ABC is a right triangle, angle ABC is a right angle.
Let angle ACB be theta.
AC = 2r.
AB = 2r sin theta
BC = 2r cos theta
Area of triangle = 4r^2( sin theta) ( cos theta) /2 = 2r^2 (sin theta) (cos theta)
Using double identity, sin (2 theta)= 2 (sin theta)( cos theta)
Area of triangle = r^2 (sin 2 theta)
Area of circle / area of triangle = pi r^2 / r^2 sin (2 theta)= pi/sin (2 theta) = 2pi
sin (2 theta) = 1/2
2 theta = 30 degrees.
theta = 15 degrees
The complementary angle BAC = 75 degrees
Difference in angles = 60 degrees
good, this is a right way to find the ans
I too used the same approach.
i really dont get this how the difference between them is 60
thanku buddy
Let A C = 2 r where r is the radius. Then we have Area of Triangle = 2 π Area of Circle = 2 π π r 2 = 2 r 2 . Let ∠ A C B = θ . Hence A B = A C sin θ = 2 r sin θ , B C = A C cos θ = 2 r cos θ . Clearly ∠ A B C = 9 0 ∘ . Hence Area of Triangle = 2 1 × A B × B C = 2 r 2 sin θ cos θ = 2 r 2 . ∴ 2 sin θ cos θ = sin 2 θ = 2 1 = sin 3 0 ∘ . Therefore 2 θ = 3 0 ∘ ⟹ θ = 1 5 ∘ . So the other angle is 9 0 ∘ − 1 5 ∘ = 7 5 ∘ . Hence their difference is 7 5 ∘ − 1 5 ∘ = 6 0 ∘ .
A = PI/2 - C ; Area(Circle)/Area(Triangle) = 2PI -> sin(2C) = 1/2; 2C = PI/6; C = PI/12 -> 15°; A = PI/2 - PI/12 = (5/12)PI -> 75°; A - C = 60°
Since one of the side of the triangle is the diameter of the circle, it is a right triangle. Let A C = 2 r and ∠ A C B = θ , then A B = 2 r sin θ and B C = 2 r cos θ .So the area of the triangle is 2 1 ( 2 r sin θ ) ( 2 r cos θ ) = 2 r 2 ( sin θ ) ( cos θ ) . Using the double angle identity, sin 2 x = 2 sin x cos x , we have
A T = r 2 sin 2 θ
Given in the problem that A T A C = 2 π , so
r 2 sin 2 θ π r 2 = 2 π
2 1 = sin 2 θ
2 θ = sin − 1 ( 2 1 )
2 θ = 3 0
θ = 1 5
It follows that ∠ C A B = 9 0 − 1 5 = 7 5 .
So the desired answer is 7 0 − 1 5 = 6 0 ∘
Let the circle centre be O to which join B. Now, 2∏=∏R²/(r h) where h is the altitude from B to AC. h = R/2=R sin(30). This implies that / BOA=2*/ BCA=30° or / BCA=15° & / BAC=75° giving us 60° as the required difference.
a 2 + c 2 = b 2 = 4 r 2 . . B u t ( 1 / 2 ∗ a ∗ c ) π ∗ r 2 = 2 ∗ π . . ∴ a ∗ c = r 2 . S i n A = 2 r a = C o s C , C o s A = 2 r c = S i n C C o s ( A − C ) = 2 r c ∗ 2 r a + 2 r a ∗ 2 r c = 2 ∗ 4 r 2 a ∗ c = 2 ∗ 4 r 2 r 2 = 1 / 2 = C o s ( 6 0 ) 6 0
This is same as NaveenKmuar Venkataraj, just used latex.
Let the angles be x and y and AB=b,BC=a. Given that (area of circle)/area of triangle=2 * pi or pi * r^2/{(1/2)ab }=2 * pi.......................(1), Now sin x=a/2r or a=2r * sin x.........(2) And cos x=b/2r or b=2r * cos x....(3) Now putting those into (1) pi * r^2/{(1/2) * (2r * cos x) * (2r * sin x)}=2 * pi or pi * r^2/(2r^2 * sin x * cos x)=2 * pi or pi/(2 * sin x *cos x)=2 * pi or 1/(sin x * cos x)=(2 * 2 * pi)/pi or (sin x * cos x)^2=(1/4)^2 or sin^2 x * cos^2 x=(1/4)^2 or sin^2 x(1-sin^2 x)=1/16 or sin^2 x-sin^4 x=1/16 or 16sin^2 x-16sin^4 x=1 or 0=16sin^4 x-16sin^2 x+1 either sin x=sqrt{(2+sqrt 3)/4} or sinx=sqrt {(2+sqrt 3)/4} so x=(75,15). Now 90(semi circle angle is always 90)+75+y=180 or 90+15+y=180 that makes y=(15,75) So either way its [x-y=75-15=60 or y-x=75-15=60] 60. SO ANSWER IS 60
Ratio of the areas $\frac{2\pi R^2}{AB\cdot BC}=2\pi$ gives $R^2= AB\cdot BC$, while by Pythagorean Theorem we get $AB^2 + BC^2 = 4R^2$. Substituting, $AB^2 + BC^2 = 4AB\cdot BC$. By letting $\tan C=\frac{AB}{BC}=x$, the previous equation can be written as $x^2 - 4x + 1=0$, which can be solved by the quadratic formula to obtain $x= 2 \pm \sqrt{3}\Rightarrow \tan C=2\pm\sqrt{3}$. Thus, $C=15^\circ$ (which gives $A=75^\circ$) or $C=75^\circ$ (which gives $A=15^\circ$). In either case, the answer is $60^\circ$.
Say a,b,c are angles at A,B,C and AB = w, BC = h and AC = 2r Easy to get r.r = w.h from what is given. cos(a-c) = cos(a)cos(c) + sin(a)sin(c) =(h/2r)(w/2r) + (w/2r)(h/2r) substitute rr = wh we get cos(a-c) = 1/2 , a-c = 60deg

Let A B = b and B C = a .
Since AC is the diameter, then △ A B C is right-angled at B .
By the Pythagorean Theorem, A C = a 2 + b 2
Area of the circle = 4 π ( a 2 + b 2 ) 2
Area of △ A B C = 2 a b
And 2 a b π ( a 2 + b 2 ) 2 = 2 π
Giving us 2 a b a 2 + b 2 = 2
By Sine Law,
sin A a = sin C b = a 2 + b 2
Substituting to the above equation yields
2 ( sin 2 A ) ( a ) ( sin A sin C ) ( a ) a 2 = 2
2 sin A sin C 1 = 2
cos ( A − C ) 1 = 2
cos ( A − C ) = 2 1
And finally,
A − C = 6 0 ∘
