subject: Solve Fact Triangles [print this page] Introduction for triangles: A fact triangle is one of a basic shapes of geometry: a polygon with three corners or vertices and three sides or edges which are line segments. A fact triangle with vertices A, B, and C is denoted ABC. In Euclidean geometry any three non-collinear points determine unique fact triangle and a unique plane.
Example Problems for Fact Triangles:
Ex 1: Solve any ?XYZ, prove and the question:
a3 sin(Y -Z) +b^3 sin( Z -X) +c3 sin(X -Y)= 0
Sol : By the sine rule, we have
a / sin X= b / sin Y = Z / sin Z =k(say)
=> a = ksin X ,b=Ksin Y and c = Ksin Z.
a^3 sin(X - Z)= K^3 sin^2 X[sin X sin(Y -Z)]
= K^3 sin^2 X [sin(? - (Y + Z)} sin(Y -Z)] in above equation to solve
= K^3 sin^2 X [sin(Y + Z)sin(Y - Z)]
= K^3 sin^2 X. (sin^2 Y - sin^2 Z).
Similarly to solve , b^3 sin(Z - X)=K^3 sin^2 Y(sin^2 Z - sin^2 X)
