sequences and series - Sides of a triangle in arithmetic progression. Find possible values of common difference



Question



If the sides of a triangle are in arithmetic progression with first term 1 and

common difference d find the set of possible values of d



Attempt



I do not have much of a clue on how to go about solving this. I've tried letting the angles be θ, θ+ε and π2θε and using the sine rule, and even the cosine rule, but to no prevail.



Any hints would be very much appreciated!


Answer



Thank you dxiv and Zubin. I had forgotten all about them.




Using the triangle inequality (multiple times) we get 13<d<1.
