Relate a,b,c (when they r real).

Commented bymr W last updated on 21/Jul/20

a+b=((b+c)/2) c+a=(((√3)(b+c))/2) with α=(a/c),β=(b/c) ⇒2α+β=1 ⇒−2α+(√3)β=2−(√3) ⇒α=2−(√3)≈0.268 ⇒β=2(√3)−3≈0.464

It isn′t like that Sir... please view Q.104445

Commented bymr W last updated on 21/Jul/20

you are right sir! what i showed is only a special case. generally we have: (a+c)^2 =(a+b)^2 +(b+c)^2 −(a+b)(b+c) ⇒b^2 +(a+c)b−3ac=0 or ⇒c=(((a+b)b)/(3a−b))
