For a triangle ABC, the value of cos2A+cos2B+cos2C is least. If its inradius is 3 and incentre is M, then which of the following is NOT correct [2023]
(1)
Here, cos2A+cos2B+cos2C=-32
⇒ 2A=2B=2C=120° ⇒A=B=C=60°
Now, inradius=Area of ∆ABCSemiperimeter
3=34a23a2 [Where a=side of ∆]
⇒a=183=63
Perimeter of ∆ABC=183
Area of ∆ABC=34×(63)2=273
A=60⇒2A=120
sin2A=sinA
∑sin2A=∑sinA
|MA→|=|MB→|⇒6=2r
MA→·MB→=36cos120°=-18
