Find the longest side of the triangle. The sides $a,b,c$ of a $\triangle ABC$ are in $GP$ whose common ratio is $\frac{2}{3}$ and the circumradius of the triangle is $6\sqrt{\frac{7}{209}}$.Find the longest side of the triangle.
I used law of sines $$\frac{a}{\sin A}=\frac{b}{\sin B}=\frac{c}{\sin C}=2R$$
I took $a=a,b=\frac{2}{3}a,c=\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2a$
which gives $$\frac{\sin A}{\sin B}=\frac{\sin B}{\sin C}$$
I am stuck now,how to find the longest side $a$.
 A: If the side lengths are $l,\frac{2}{3}l,\frac{4}{9}l$ then the circumradius is given by:
$$ R=\frac{abc}{4\Delta}=\frac{\frac{8}{27}l^3}{l^2\sqrt{\left(1+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{9}\right)\left(1-\frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{9}\right)\left(1+\frac{2}{3}-\frac{4}{9}\right)\left(-1+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{9}\right)}}$$
by Heron's formula, hence:
$$ R = \frac{24}{\sqrt{1463}} l $$
gives:

$$ l=\color{red}{\frac{7}{4}}.$$

A: Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths. Then, $b,c$ can be written as $$b=\frac 23a,\quad c=\left(\frac 23\right)^2a$$
where $a$ is the longest side. So, we have, by the law of cosines,
$$a^2=\left(\frac 23a\right)^2+\left(\left(\frac 23\right)^2a\right)^2-2\cdot\frac 23a\cdot\left(\frac 23\right)^2a\cos A$$
$$\Rightarrow \cos A=-\frac{29}{48}.$$
Hence, 
$$a=2R\sin A=2R\sqrt{1-\cos^2A}=2\cdot 6\sqrt{\frac{7}{209}}\sqrt{1-\left(-\frac{29}{48}\right)^2}=\frac 74.$$
A: The side of the triangle in G.P. with common ratio $\frac{2}{3}$ can be taken as $$a=\frac{3}{2}x, b=x, c=\frac{2}{3}x$$
Where, $x$ is a positive real number.
Hence, using cosine formula we get $$\cos C=\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}$$ $$=\frac{\frac{9}{4}x^2+x^2-\frac{4}{9}x^2}{2\cdot\frac{3}{2}x \cdot x }=\frac{101}{108}$$ $$\implies \sin C=\sqrt{1-\cos ^2 A}=\sqrt{1-\frac{101^2}{108^2}}=\frac{\sqrt{1463}}{108}$$ Hence, the circumscribed radius of the triangle is  given by the following formula $$\frac{c}{2\sin C}$$ $$=\frac{\frac{2}{3}x}{2\frac{\sqrt{1463}}{108}}=\frac{36}{\sqrt{1463}}x$$ $$\implies \frac{36}{\sqrt{1463}}x=6\sqrt{\frac{7}{209}}$$ $$x=\frac{7}{6}$$ Now, setting the value of $x$, all the sides of the triangle are calculated as follows   $$a=\frac{3}{2}x=\frac{3}{2}\cdot \frac{7}{6}=\frac{7}{4}$$ $$b=x=\frac{7}{6}$$ $$c=\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{2}{3}\cdot \frac{7}{6}=\frac{7}{9}$$
longest side is $a=\frac{7}{4}$
