We note that: 1 + R r = cos(A) + cos(B) + cos(C) or 1 + 1 6 5 =3cos(B). In other words, cos(B) = 1 6 7 , which in turn implies that sin(B) = 1 6 3 √ 2 3 . Now, a=b cos(C) + c cos(B) and c=a cos(B) + b cos(A) whence (a+c)=b(cos(A)+cos(C))+(a+c) cos(B)=2bcos(B+(a+c) cos(B)=(a+2b+c)cos(B)=(a+2b+c) 1 6 7 Hence, a+c = 9 1 4 b and further,s = 2 a + b + c = 1 8 2 3 b . Now, 16 = 4 r s a b c . Substitute, the values of r & s in this formula to obtain, ac= 9 3 6 8 0 . We can now claim that: A = ac 2 s i n ( B ) = 3 1 1 5 √ 2 3 using the value of sin(B) obtained earlier.
