Question

Chứng minh rằng với mọi tam giác ABC, ta có:

\({S_{ABC}} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt {{{\overrightarrow {AB} }^2}.{{\overrightarrow {AC} }^2} - {{\left( {\overrightarrow {AB} .\overrightarrow {AC} } \right)}^2}} .\)

Answer 1

Đặt \(A = \dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt {{{\overrightarrow {AB} }^2}.{{\overrightarrow {AC} }^2} - {{\left( {\overrightarrow {AB} .\overrightarrow {AC} } \right)}^2}} \)

\(= \dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt { A{B^2}.A{C^2}- {{\left(|{\overrightarrow {AB}| .|\overrightarrow {AC}|. \cos BAC} \right)}^2}} \)

\(\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow A = \dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt {A{B^2}.A{C^2} - {{\left( {AB.AC.\cos A} \right)}^2}} \\ \Leftrightarrow A = \dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt {A{B^2}.A{C^2} - A{B^2}.A{C^2}.{{\cos }^2}A }\\ \Leftrightarrow A = \dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt {A{B^2}.A{C^2}\left( {1 - {{\cos }^2}A} \right)} \end{array}\)

Mà \(1 - {\cos ^2}A = {\sin ^2}A\)

\( \Rightarrow A = \dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt {A{B^2}.A{C^2}.{{\sin }^2}A} \)

\( \Leftrightarrow A = \dfrac{1}{2}.AB.AC.\sin A\) (Vì \({0^o} < \widehat A < {180^o}\) nên \(\sin A > 0\))

Do đó \(A = {S_{ABC}}\) hay \({S_{ABC}} = \dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt {{{\overrightarrow {AB} }^2}.{{\overrightarrow {AC} }^2} - {{\left( {\overrightarrow {AB} .\overrightarrow {AC} } \right)}^2}} .\) (đpcm)
