Sollutions of triangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah sot have only got formulas , no problem

OpenStudy (owlfred):

Wouldn't \(abc = \sqrt R\) though? :|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i made a mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[abc=\sqrt{R}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i used projection formula but i was not able to proceed any further

OpenStudy (owlfred):

Also,\[a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = P=( a + b + c)^2 - 2(ab + bc + ca)\]Not really sure if Vieta's Formulas alone would be able to help us. And I have forgotten my trigonometry. :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let a,b,c be the sides of a triangle AB. \[\large a^2 , b^2 ,c^2 \] are the roots of the equation \[\huge x^3-Px^2+Qx-R=0\] where P,Q and R are constants, then find the value of \[\huge \frac{ cosA }{ a } + \frac{ cosB }{ b }+ \frac{ cosC }{ c }\] Find the value in terms of P,Q and R

OpenStudy (owlfred):

@Miracrown Hey, could you give us a hand here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Miracrown

OpenStudy (owlfred):

Wondering if cosine rule would be of any help...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't want to take any risk , but i thought of that , good idea thought , i don't if that would work , i am trying ,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

though**

Miracrown (miracrown):

I don't immediately see the connection between these questions. There is a cubic equation in the middle, which has nothing to do with triangle problems.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PERFECT!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It works

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can't sides of a triangle be the roots of a cubic equation , as there are three sides

OpenStudy (owlfred):

\[\cos A = \dfrac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc}\]\[\cos B = \dfrac{a^2 + c^2 - b^2}{2ac}\]\[\cos C = \dfrac{a^2 + b^2 - c^2}{2ab}\]

|dw:1416212218233:dw|

OpenStudy (owlfred):

The denominator turns out to be the same when you plug in...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you owlfred

OpenStudy (owlfred):

=)

Miracrown (miracrown):

Smart bird! =]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

waiting for you @sidsiddhartha , kya type kar rahe ho

Miracrown (miracrown):

What language is this: ''kya type kar rahe ho'' ?

OpenStudy (owlfred):

Hindi.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hindi

Miracrown (miracrown):

I understand the ''type'' bit, but the rest ... no idea lol

OpenStudy (owlfred):

It says, "What are you typing?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Bharath ki rashtra bhasha , hindi

OpenStudy (owlfred):

@sidsiddhartha Late lateef!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually We got the answer hehhe

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

yeah very much lagging :(

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

I had no idea \[a\cdot b\cdot c = \sqrt{R}\]

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

and \[x^3-px^2+qx-r=0\\from~this\\s_1=a+b+c=p\\s_2=\sum ab=q\\s_3=abc=r\]
