Question

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

If in a ∆ABC, \[\frac{\cos A}{a} = \frac{\cos B}{b} = \frac{\cos C}{c}\] then find the measures of angles ABC

Solution

In ∆ABC, 

\[\frac{\cos A}{a} = \frac{\cos B}{b} = \frac{\cos C}{c}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{\cos A}{k\sin A} = \frac{\cos B}{k\sin B} = \frac{\cos C}{k\sin C} \left( \text{ Using sine rule } \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow \cot A = \cot B = \cot C\]
\[ \Rightarrow A = B = C\]
⇒ ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle.
∴ A = B = C = 60º
