The sides of a triangle are $\sin \theta, \cos \theta$ and $\sqrt{1+\sin \theta \cos \theta}$ for some $0…
- $\frac{\pi}{3}$
- $\frac{2 \pi}{3}$
- $\frac{\pi}{6}$
- $\frac{5 \pi}{6}$
Solution
Since $\sqrt{1+\sin \theta \cos \theta}$ is greater than $\sin \theta$ and $\cos \theta$. $\therefore \quad C$ is the greatest angle, $\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad \cos C \\ & \therefore \quad \\ & \quad=\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2 a b} \\ & \\ & \quad=-\frac{1}{2}=\cos 120^{\circ} \\ & \therefore \quad C \end{aligned}$
