With the usual notations, in a ∆ A B C , if a = 2 ,   b = 6 and c = 3 + 1 , then sin 2 C - sin 2…

With the usual notations, in a ABC, if a=2, b=6 and c=3+1, then sin2C-sin2A=
  1. 1+34
  2. 32
  3. 34
  4. 34

Solution

We have, a=2, b=6 and c=3+1

Using cosine rule, we get,

cosC=a2+b2-c22ab

=6-2346

=3-122

And cosA=c2+b2-a22cb

=4+23+6-423+16=12

Now,

sin2C-sin2A=1-cos2C-1-cos2A

=cos2A-cos2C

=12-3-1222

=12-4-238

=34.
