If the angles \(A, B, C\) of a triangle are in arithmetic progression such that \(\sin(2A + B) = 1/2\) then \(\sin(B + 2C)\) is equal to
Question and options
If the angles of a triangle are in arithmetic progression such that then is equal to
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - \(\frac{-1}{2}\)
AP angles: B=60, A+C=120. 2A+B = 180+A-C, so sin(2A+B)=sin(C-A)=1/2. B+2C = 180+C-A, so sin(B+2C) = -sin(C-A) = -1/2.
