if cosA+2cosC: cos A+2cos B=sin B:sinC, prove that the triangle is either isosceles or right angled.

Be like a postage stamp.Stick to anything until you get there.

hi sulekha,
due to shortage of time i would liketo give poper hints so that u can solve the problem urself .
wrtie cos A =(b2+ c2 - a2 )/2bc and write cos B ,cosC in hthe same manner and substitue in the left side equation and sinC/sinB=c/b and when take the given experssion adn solve , finally u'll get
 
(b-c)(a2-b2-c2)=0
 
from here either
b=c or                     a= b2 + c2    
isocless triangle or rightangled triangle

this can be written in the form
c cosA+2c cosC=b cos A+2b cos B
(b-c)(b^2+c^2-a^2)/2bc=c(a^2+b^2-c^2)/ab-b(a^2+c^2-b^2)/ac=
(c^2*a^2-c^4-b^2*a^2+b^4)/ab
(b^2+c^2-a^2)(b-c)/2=(c^2-b^2)(a^2-c^2-b^2)/a
and then u can equate b^2+c^2-a^2=0 and b-c=0
and in the cases u get one of them gives rt angled triangle and one of them gives isosceles triangle
please rate me
