2021/071) For the triangle with angles A,B,C, the following trigonometric equality holds. \sin^2B+\sin^2C−\sin^2A=\sin\,B\sin\,C Find the measure of the angle A.
Using law of sin's \sin A = ka, \sin B= kb, \sin C = kc
We get
b^2+c^2 - a^2 = bc
Or a^2 = b^2 + c^2 + bc\cdots(1)
By law of cos
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos A \cdots(2)
from (1) and (2)
2 \cos A = - 1 or \cos A = \frac{-1}{2} or A = 12^circ
