If the cotangents of half the angles of ...

If the cotangents of half the angles of a triangle are in A.P., then prove that the sides are in A.P.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is given that ,
`2cot (B/2) = cot (A/2)+cot(C/2)`
`=>2sqrt(((s(s-b)))/((s-a)(s-c))) = sqrt(((s(s-a)))/((s-b)(s-c)))+sqrt(((s(s-c)))/((s-a)(s-b)))`
`=>2sqrt((s(s-b)s(s-b))/(s(s-b)(s-a)(s-c))) = sqrt((s(s-a)s(s-a))/(s(s-b)(s-a)(s-c))) +sqrt((s(s-c)s(s-c))/(s(s-b)(s-a)(s-c))) `
`=>2s(s-b) = s(s-a)+s(s-c)`
`=>2(s-b) = s-a+s-c`
`=>2s-2b = s-a+s-c`
`=>2b = a+c`
