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 $\theta,$ $\theta+\varepsilon$ and $\pi-2\theta-\varepsilon$ 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 $$-\frac{1}{3}< d< 1.$$
