geometry - Sides of a triangle given perimeter and two angles



Let be a triangle with angles α, β and γ. Let p the semiperimeter of this triangle. How can I prove that the length of the opposite side to angle α is



psin(α2)cos(β2)cos(γ2)



Using properties of area and the inradius, (A=pr where r is the radius of the inscribed circle and Heron's Formula A=p(pa)(pb)(pc)) I can't solve the question. How can I proceed?



Answer



If you use the formulae for sinα2, cosβ2 and cosγ2 [for example, from here:



https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Trigonometry/Solving_triangles_by_half-angle_formulae ]



the derivation is pretty easy. Please let me know if you understood.
