The perimeter of a ∆ABC is 6 times the arithmetic mean of the sines of its angles. If the side a is 1, then the angle A is
Explanation
(a)
Let the sides of the triangle are a, b, c.
It is given that the perimeter of a triangle ABC is 6 times the Arithmetic Mean ofthe sines of its angles
∴a+b+c=6(3sinA+sinB+sinC)
a+b+c=2(sinA+sinB+sinC)......(1)
From the law ofsine,
sinAa=sinBb=sinCc=k
⇒a=ksinA ⇒b=ksinB ⇒c=ksinC
∴a+b+c=k(sinA+sinB+sinC).........(2)
Hence k=2⇒a=2sinA⇒1=2sinA⇒sinA=21
A=6π
