A problem about circumradii and "not-ugly" angles: you immediately start thinking about the extended law of sines. By the way, you need to change your status :)
did the same way :)
The circumradius of △ A B C is 3 2 . The angles are ∠ A = 6 0 ∘ , ∠ B = 4 5 ∘ and ∠ C = 7 5 ∘ . By the Law of Sines , we have,
sin 6 0 ∘ B C = sin 4 5 ∘ C A = sin 7 5 ∘ A B = 2 3 2
∴ B C + C A + A B = = = = = = 2 3 2 ( sin 6 0 ∘ + sin 4 5 ∘ + sin 7 5 ∘ ) 2 3 2 ( 2 3 + 2 2 + 4 2 + 6 ) 3 2 × 2 2 3 + 3 2 + 6 6 2 3 + 3 2 + 6 6 2 3 + 6 3 2 + 6 6 2 + 3 + 1
Implying a = 2 , b = 3 , c = 1 , giving our desired answer:
a + b + c = 2 + 3 + 1 = 6

∠ B A C = 6 0 ∘
From Sine Rule,
sin A C B A B = sin A B C A C = sin B A C B C = 2 R
2 R A B = sin A C B _ _ _ _ _(1)
2 R A C = sin A B C _ _ _ _ _(2)
2 R B C = sin B A C _ _ _ _ _(3)
Add (1),(2),(3).
2 R A B + A C + B C = sin A B C + sin A C B + sin B A C
2 R A B + A C + B C = sin 4 5 ∘ + sin ( 4 5 + 3 0 ) ∘ + sin 6 0 ∘
2 R A B + A C + B C = 2 1 + 2 2 3 + 1 + 2 3
2 3 2 A B + A C + B C = 2 2 3 ( 3 + 2 + 1 )
A B + B C + C A = 3 + 2 + 1
Hence, a + b + c = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6
