Question

In ∆ABC, prove the following:

\[\frac{c - b \cos A}{b - c \cos A} = \frac{\cos B}{\cos C}\] 

 

Advertisements

Solution

\[LHS = \frac{c - b\cos A}{b - c\cos A}\]

=`{a cos B+b cos A-b cos A}/{a cos C+c cos A-c cos A}` `["Using projection formula"]`

`c= a cos B+b cos A, b= a cos C+c cos A]`

\[ = \frac{a\cos B}{a\cos C}\]

\[ = \frac{\cos B}{\cos C} = RHS\]

Hence proved.
