Question 7

Mathematics Line Easy

Let ΔABC be a triangle whose area is 10√3 units with side lengths |AB| = 8 units and |AC| = 5 units. Find possible values of the angle A.  

(A) 60° or 120° 
(B) 45° or 135° 
(C) 30° only
(D) 90° only
✓ Correct Answer: Option A Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} ab \sin \theta \] Substituting the given values: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 5 \times \sin \theta = 10 \sqrt{3} \] Thus, we have: \[ \sin \theta = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Therefore, \[ \theta = 60^\circ \quad \text{or} \quad \theta = 120^\circ \]
