This document uses trigonometry and properties of triangles to solve several geometry problems. It first finds the angles in a triangle given information about sine ratios. It then calculates the radius, median, and area of an equilateral triangle. The key results are:
1) The only possible angles for the triangle are P=120°, Q=30°
2) The radius of the incircle of an equilateral triangle is 1/3 the length of its sides
3) The length of the median to the base of an equilateral triangle is 1/2 the length of its sides
