Let a triangle ABC be inscribed in a circle of radius 2 units. If the 3 bisectors of the angles A, B and C are extended to cut the circle at A1, B1 and C1 respectively, then the value of AA1cosA2+BB1cosB2+CC1cosC2sinA+sinB+sinC2=
  1. 4
  2. 16
  3. 25
  4. 1

Solution

Consider the figure below.

The triangle ABC is equilateral.

Therefore, A=B=C=60°.

Substitute the value in the given expression,

AA1cosA2+BB1cosB2+CC1cosC2sinA+sinB+sinC2

=4cos60°2+4cos60°2+4cos60°2sin60°+sin60°+sin60°2

=4×3323322

=16
