Center be O,

From Triangle AOB , s i n α / 2 = 1 2 r sin\alpha/2 = \dfrac{1}{2r}

Similarly , s i n β / 2 = 1 4 r , s i n γ / 2 = 3 2 r sin\beta/2 = \dfrac{1}{4r} , sin\gamma/2 = \dfrac{3}{2r}

α = a , β = b , γ = c \alpha = a , \beta = b , \gamma = c

2 ( a + b + c ) = 36 0 , a + b + c = 18 0 2(a + b + c) = 360^{\circ} , a + b + c = 180^{\circ}

Then,

c o s a + c o s b + c o s c = 1 + 4 ( s i n a / 2 ) ( s i n b / 2 ) s i n c / 2 cosa + cosb + cosc = 1 + 4(sina/2)(sinb/2)sinc/2

1 2 s i n 2 a / 2 + 1 2 s i n 2 b / 2 + 1 2 s i n 2 c / 2 = 1 + 4 ( s i n a / 2 ) ( s i n b / 2 ) s i n c / 2 1 - 2sin^{2}a/2 + 1 - 2sin^{2}b/2 + 1 - 2sin^{2}c/2 = 1 + 4(sina/2)(sinb/2)sinc/2

3 2. 1 4 r 2 2. 1 r 2 2. 9 4 r 2 = 1 + 3 r 3 3 - 2.\dfrac{1}{4r^{2}} - 2.\dfrac{1}{r^{2}} - 2.\dfrac{9}{4r^{2}} = 1 + \dfrac{3}{r^{3}}

3 14 2 r 2 = 1 + 3 r 3 3 - \dfrac{14}{2r^{2}} = 1 + \dfrac{3}{r^{3}}

3 r 3 + 7 r 2 = 2 \dfrac{3}{r^{3}} + \dfrac{7}{r^{2}} = 2
