$$FindABandACintermsofa$$$$and\theta .$$

Commented by mr W last updated on 08/Sep/19

$$\frac{AB}{\sin \theta }=\frac{AC}{\sin 2\theta }=\frac{a}{\sin 3\theta }$$$$\Rightarrow AB=\frac{a\sin \theta }{\sin 3\theta }=\frac{a}{3-4{\sin }^2\theta }$$$$\Rightarrow AC=\frac{a\sin 2\theta }{\sin 3\theta }=\frac{2a\cos \theta }{3-4{\sin }^2\theta }$$

$$letAC=apandAB=q$$$$\frac{ap}{\sin 2\theta }=\frac{q}{\sin \theta }\Rightarrow q=\frac{ap}{2\cos \theta }$$$$\cos (\pi -3\theta )=\frac{(\frac{p^2}{4\cos {}^2\theta }+p^2-1)}{\left(\frac{2p^2}{2\cos \theta }\right)}$$$$\Rightarrow (3-4\cos {}^2\theta )p^2=p^2+\frac{p^2}{4\cos {}^2\theta }-1$$$$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{p^2}=\frac{1}{4\cos {}^2\theta }+4\cos {}^2\theta -2$$$$If0<\theta <\frac{\pi }{2}$$$$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{2\cos \theta }-2\cos \theta =\frac{1-4\cos {}^2\theta }{2\cos \theta }$$$$asAC=apandAB=\frac{ap}{2\cos \theta }$$$$so\mathit{A}\mathit{C}=\frac{2a\cos \theta }{1-4\cos {}^2\theta };\mathit{A}\mathit{B}=\frac{a}{1-4\cos {}^2\theta }$$
