Question

Answer  the following questions in one word or one sentence or as per exact requirement of the question. 

In a ∆ABC, if \[\cos A = \frac{\sin B}{2\sin C}\]  then show that c = a

Solution

Given: \[\cos A = \frac{\sin B}{2\sin C}\] 

\[\Rightarrow \frac{b^2 + c^2 - a^2}{2bc} = \frac{b}{2c}\]     (Using sine rule and cosine rule) 

\[\Rightarrow b^2 + c^2 - a^2 = b^2\] 

\[\Rightarrow c^2 = a^2\] 

\[\Rightarrow c = a\]
