Question 817303
a = V/4
a + b = V/3
b + c + V/4
---
a = b + c
a + b + c = a + a
a + b + c = V/4 + V/4
a + b + c = V/2
---
b = V/3 - a
b = V/3 - V/4
b = V4/12 - V3/12
b = V/12
---
b + c + V/4
c = V/4 - b
c = V/4 - V/12
c = V12/48 - V4/48
c = V/6
---
check against earlier a + b + c = V/2:
a + b + c = V/4 + V/12 + V/6
a + b + c = V72/288 + V24/288 + V48/288
a + b + c = V144/288
a + b + c = V/2
