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 = b2+c2a22bc\frac { \mathrm { b } ^ { 2 } + \mathrm { c } ^ { 2 } - \mathrm { a } ^ { 2 } } { 2 \mathrm { bc } }

̃ c2 –2bc cos A + b2 –a2 = 0

If c1, c2 be the values of third side then c1 + c2 = 2b cos A
