AI Thread Summary
To solve the triangle with the given ratios and side length, the Law of Sines is applied, leading to the equation that shows \(\cos(\theta) = \frac{3}{4}\). This results in the angles being calculated as \(\theta = \arccos\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)\), \(2\theta\), and \(\pi - 3\arccos\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)\), confirming the triangle is scalene. The Law of Cosines is then used to derive a quadratic equation, which is solved to find \(x = 6\). Consequently, the triangle's sides are determined as \(a = 12\) cm, \(b = 18\) cm, and \(c = 15\) cm, with their respective angles calculated. This method effectively demonstrates the application of trigonometric laws in triangle solving.

Hello, I have problem with this task, I must solve the triangel if i know a:b=2:3, c=15 cm, alfa:beta=1:2.Can you help me please?If you know it write me way how you solve it Thank so much.

I would begin with the Law of Sines and state:

$$\frac{\sin(\theta)}{2x}=\frac{\sin(2\theta)}{3x}$$

Can you show this implies:

$$\cos(\theta)=\frac{3}{4}$$?
 
To follow up:

We have:

$$\frac{\sin(\theta)}{2x}=\frac{\sin(2\theta)}{3x}$$

Multiplying through by \(6x\) and using a double-angle identity we obtain:

$$3\sin(\theta)=4\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)$$

As presumably \(\sin(\theta)\ne0\) (otherwise our triangle is degenerate) we may divide by this quantity to get:

$$3=4\cos(\theta)\implies \cos(\theta)=\frac{3}{4}$$

And so the 3 interior angles are:

$$\theta=\arccos\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$$

$$2\theta=2\arccos\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$$

$$\pi-3\arccos\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$$

As these 3 angles are different, we know we have a scalene triangle, and knowing this will help.

Now, let's use the Law of Cosines as follows:

$$(2x)^2=(3x)^2+15^2-2(3x)(15)\cos(\theta)$$

$$4x^2=9x^2+15^2-90x\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$$

Arrange resulting quadratic in standard form:

$$2x^2-27x+90=0$$

Factor:

$$(2x-15)(x-6)=0$$

Because \(2x\) cannot be 15 as all three sides must have different lengths, we reject that root and are left with:

$$x=6$$

And so, our triangle has:

Side \(a\) is 12 cm and the angle opposing it is about $$41.4^{\circ}$$.

Side \(b\) is 18 cm and the angle opposing it is about $$82.8^{\circ}$$.

Side \(c\) is 15 cm and the angle opposing it is about \(55.8^{\circ}\).

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
