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 π−2θ−ε 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.
