Abstract

Let ABC be a triangle with a,b,and c being its three sidelengths. In a 1976 article by Wynne William Wilson in the Mathematical Gazette(see reference[2]), the author showed that angleB is twice angleA, if and only if b^2=a(a+c). We offer our own proof of this result in Proposition1.Using Proposition1 and Lemma2, we establish Proposition 2: Let a,b,c be positive reals. Then a triangle ABC having a,b,c as its sidelengths can be formed if,and onlyif, b^2=a(a+c) and either c<(or equal to)a; or alternatively a<c<3a. Now, consider the case of integral triangles, that is; a,b, and c bieng positive integers.In 2002, in a paper published in the Mathematical Gazette(see[2]), author M.N.Deshpande provided two-parameter formulas that describe some integral triangles with (angle)B=2(angle)A. In Result2 in Section5, we offer 3-parameter formulas that describe the entire family of integral triangles ABC with angleA=2angleB. Using Result1, we then parametrically describe the entire family of integral triangles with angle A=2angleB; and with the bisector of angleB also of integral length. This is done in Reult2 in Section6. In Section7, we conclude this article with two closing remarks.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
