Problem 6
Let be a geometric progression and
be an arithmetic progression, both in these order, so we can say that
,
and
:
(a) are the sides of an obtusangle triangle.
(b) are the sides of an acutangle triangle that's not equilateral.
(c) are the sides of an equilateral triangle.
(d) are the sides of a right triangle.
(e) can't be the sides of a triangle.
Solution
So we got these three relations
By these equations we can see that , so it can't be an equilateral triangle.
First, we must see if ,
and
are the sides of a tringle.
So, ,
and
can't be the sides of a triangle.
