triangle is equilateral if all angles r 60°

tan A+tan B + tan C = 3√3

so wat was the logic of this question

do we have to prove something???

Tan 60 = √3
Equilateral therefore A=B=C =60
√3+√3+√3
= 3√3
Hence proved

have u proved if and only if?

MATRIX ·

tan A+ tan B+tan C=√3+√3+√3

if the triangle is equilateral...then angles r 60.........
therfore..........

3tan60=3√3

tan60=√3..............

ALl of you have only proved that equilateral triangel implies this sum is 3 root 3

this was an 8 mark question..
there has to be more to it :P

bhaiyya didnt understand wat to prove........

you have to prove that if the given expression holds then the triangle is equilateral.

do we have to take the expression........

formula..........of the form tanx+tany or something bhaiyya....[56]..

in a triangle

tanA+tanB+tanC=tanAtanBtanC
also tanA+tanB+tanC/3≥tanAtanBtanC (am≥gm)

equality holds gud only if tanA=tanB=tanC

3√3/3≥33√3

or √3≥√3

since equality is true tanA=tanB=tanC and triangle is equilateral

amit first u only said
"equality holds gud only if tanA=tanB=tanC
"

and then u proved
"tanA=tanB=tanC" [7][7]

no one is trying it correctly so i decided to solve a parallel problem.......

what if we had to prove that triangle is equilarteral using cosA+cosB+cosC=3/2

here is how to do it................

try with tan in a similar way.......u can do it.....[188]

Let ABC be such that tanA+tanB+tanC=3√3
We should prove that ABC is equilateral
(tanA+tanB+tanC)/3=√3
For a triangle,tanA+tanB+tanC=tanAtanBtanC
tanAtanBtanC=3√3
3tanAtanBtanC=√3
Apply AM GM for tanA+tanB+tanC
==> (tanA+tanB+tanC)/3 ≥3tanAtanBtanC
But both sides are equal,
==> tanA=tanB=tanC
==>A=B=C
