Question

In any triangle ABC $A^{2}$ , $B^{2}$ , $C^{2}$ are in $Q P$ prove that $c o t A$ , $c o t B$ , $c o t C$ ,are in $A . P$

Open in App

Solution

Let us consider that cotA,cotB,cotC are in AP and prove that a²,b²,c² are in AP.

we know that cotA= and similarly cotB,cotC..
by considering that cotA,cotB,cotC are inAP,we get
2(c²+a²-b²)=(b²+c²-a²)+(b²+a²-c²),
by simplifying,we get
2b²=a²+c²,
a²,b²,c² are in AP
