In a triangle ABC, a, b and c are the opposite sides of each angles ,and 2a*SinA=(2b+c)*SinB+(2c+b)*SinC
(I) try to the angle A
(II) if SinB+SinC=1, then what is the shape of this triangle?
In a triangle ABC, a, b and c are the opposite sides of each angles ,and 2a*SinA=(2b+c)*SinB+(2c+b)*SinC
(I) try to the angle A
2aSinA=(2b+c)SinB+(2c+b)SinC0=(2b+c)SinB+(2c+b)SinC−2aSinA
Using the sine rule I know that
SinB=bSinAa\qquadandSinC=cSinAa$SubstitutingIget$
0=(2b+C)bSinAa+(2c+b)cSinAa−2aSinA0=SinA[(2b+C)ba+(2c+b)ca−2a]0=SinAa[(2b+c)b+(2c+b)c−2a2]$NeithersinAnorAcanbe0so$
0=[2b2+cb+2c2+bc−2a2]0=[2b2+2c2−2a2+2bc]0=b2+c2−a2+bc−bc=b2+c2−a2−12=b2+c2−a22bc−12=cosAUsing cosine ruleA=π−π3A=2π3
Part 2
(II) if SinB+SinC=1, then what is the shape of this triangle?
SinB+SinC=1Sin(π3−C)+SinC=1
Now I am really confused because according to Wolfram|Alpha there is no valid solution to this. Where B and C are acute angles.

Maybe A=2pi/3 was wrong???
Thanks Alan,

(II) if SinB+SinC=1, then what is the shape of this triangle?
sinB = 1/2
SinC=1/2
so statement is true
So B=C=pi/6 is one answer.

May I ask 2 questions please Alan
1) How do you know that is the only answer? and
2) Why didn't Wolfram|alpha give me that answer?
Thankyou.:)
