If two sides a, b and the angle A be such that two triangles are formed, then the sum of the two values of the third side is-
A
2b sin A
B
2b cos A
C
(b/a) cos A
D
(c + b) cos A
Answer
2b cos A
Explanation
Solution
cos A = 2bcb2+c2−a2
̃ c2 –2bc cos A + b2 –a2 = 0
If c1, c2 be the values of third side then c1 + c2 = 2b cos A
