Concept:

a sinA=bsinB=csinC=k

 

Calculations:

Consider, a, b, c are the sides of triangle and A, B, C are the angles of the triangle. 

We know that, a sinA=bsinB=csinC=k

 sinA=ak, sinB=bk, sinC=ck

Given , sin A + sin B = sin C

⇒ A + B = C.

⇒ a + b = c

This is not posible.  

Hence, there exists no triangle ABC for which sin A + sin B = sin C.

(2) Given, the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3.

Consider the angles of a triangle are A = x, B = 2x and C = 3x.

We know that, Sum of the angles of the triangle is 180°

Hence, x + 2x + 3x = 180

6x = 180°

x = 30º

Angles are A = 30º, B = 60º and C =  90º

We know that, a sinA=bsinB=csinC=k

  a sin30=bsin60=csin90=k

  a12=b32=c1=k

  a1=b3=c2=k 

Hence, the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3, then its sides will be in the ratio 1 : √3 : 2..
