find a,b,c

a+b+c=180

tana+tanb+tanc= sq.(3)

Not too sure if this is solvable in general as you only have 2 equations but 3 unknowns. Are there any other equations/constraints that you didn't post up?

Generally, you need n equations/constraints to solve for n unknowns.
 
Sure it shouldn't say a+b+c=90?
Because then we could use
tan(30^{\circ}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}
and get the correct result.
 
J.D you could also ask shouldn't it be a+b+c=180 and tg(a)+tg(b)+tg(c)=3sqrt3, cause we can use: tg(60)=sqrt(3).
 
That also makes sense. I really feel that there is something wrong with the original question and have my doubts whether or not there even exist a solution. I have to admit though that I haven't made any serious attempts to prove it.

A theory can be used
Is

if
a+b+c=180
then tanget a + tanget b + tanget c = tan a tanb tanc


1)
tanget a + tanget b + tanget c = sq.3
2)
tan a tanb tanc= sq.3
3)

Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
