In order to increase product publicity, a company is going to set up a billboard with a △ ABC-shaped bracket on the back, which requires △ ACB = 60.

The shortest length of AC is 4+2 meters, and the length of BC is 2+ meters.

This test mainly examines the application of triangles in real life.

Solution: Let BC = x m (x > 2) and AC = y m, then AB = y- 1.

In △ ABC, (y-1) 2 = y 2+x 2-2xycs60 is obtained by cosine theorem.

So y = (x > 2)..................8 points.

Method 1: y = (x-2)++4 ≥ 4+2.

If and only if x-2 =, that is, x -2= 2+, the minimum value of y is 4+2.

Method 2: y' = =.

X = 2+ from y' = 0, because when 2 < x < 2+, y' < 0;; When x > 2+ and y' > 0,

So when x = 2+, the minimum value of y is 4+2.

Answer: The shortest length of AC is 4+2m, and the length of BC is 2+ m ................. 15.
