special case  R=b+2c=1  b+2d=R=b+2c  ⇒d=c  (c/(b+c))=sin 30°=(1/2)  ⇒b=c  ⇒a=b=c=d=e=(1/3)

$$\boldsymbol{{special}}\:\boldsymbol{{case}} \\ $$$${R}={b}+\mathrm{2}{c}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${b}+\mathrm{2}{d}={R}={b}+\mathrm{2}{c} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{d}={c} \\ $$$$\frac{{c}}{{b}+{c}}=\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{30}°=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{b}={c} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{a}={b}={c}={d}={e}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$
