In a triangle the length of the two  larger sides are 24 and 22, respectively.  If the angles are in AP, then the third  side is

let angles are A−∝,A,A+∝  A−∝+A+A+∝=180^o   3A=180^o    A=60^o   unknoen side be x  cosA=((x^2 +24^2 −22^2 )/(2x.24))  (1/2)=((x^2 +46×2)/(2.x.24))  24x=x^2 +92  x^2 −24x+92=0  x=((24−(√(576−368)) )/2)=((24−14.42)/2)=((9.58)/2)=4.79  we can not take ((24+(√(576−368)) )/2) since  24 is greatest side as per question  cos(A−∝)=((24^2 +22^2 −4.79^2 )/(2.24.22))  A−∝=cos^(−1) (((24^2 +22^2 −4.79^2 )/(2.24.22)))  A+.∝=cos^(−1) (((22^2 +4.79^2 −24^2 )/(2.22.4.79)))
