Illustrative Problem
If in a ΔABC,

sinC sin(B - C)
then prove that a2 ,b2 , c2 are in A.P.
Solution :
sinA sin(A - B)
=
,
sinC sin(B - C)
sinAsin(B - C) = sinCsin(A - B)
sin - (B + C) sin(B - C) = sin - (A +B) sin(A - B)
sin(B + C)sin(B - C) = sin(A +B)sin(A - B)

Let us try to find a,b,c in terms of K.
a = ……….., b = ……...., c = ………..
b + c = 11k; c + a = 12k; a + b = 13k
Adding we get 2 (a + b + c) = 36k
