For a triangle is given the next relation for its surface 4A = ( a + b + c )( a + b - c) . Prove that the triangle is right-angled . a, b, c are...

We’ll use the generalized Pythagorean
theorem:


c^2=a^2+b^2-2*a*b* cos (angle between a and
b)-a^2+b^2-c^2=2*a*b* cos (angle between a and b)


A=a*b*sin
(angle between a and b)/2, where A is the aria of the
triangle


From this relation, 2A= a*b*sin (angle between a
and b)


4A=2* a*b*sin (angle between a and
b)


Let’s analyze the relation from
enunciation:


4A=(a+b+c)*(a+b-c)


We notice
that if we group (a+b)=d,
then


4A=(d+c)(d-c)


4A=d^2-c^2=(a+b)^2-c^2


4A=
a^2+b^2+2a*b-c^2


Let’s substitute the formulas previously
processed:


2* a*b*sin (angle between a and b)= 2*a*b* cos
(angle between a and b) +2a*b


We notice that we could
divide the expression by the product 2a*b


sin (angle
between a and b)= cos (angle between a and b) +1


sin (angle
between a and b)- cos (angle between a and b)=1


If we
square raise:


[sin (angle between a and b)- cos (angle
between a and b)]^2=1


Let’s substitute angle between a and
b= t


(sin t – cos t)^2=1


(sin
t)^2+ (cos t) ^2-2sin t cos t=1


But from the fundamental
formula


(sin t)^2+ (cos t)
^2=1


1-2sin t cos t=0


2sin t
cos t=0, so sin t=0 or cos t=0


An angle of a triangle can
not have sin t =0, so we have to have cos t=o, so sin t= 90, so the triangle is
rectangled.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
