[Math] How to evaluate the angles next to the median in a triangle

geometrytriangles

Suppose that $ABC$ is a triangle with a median $AM$. Than we can look at these angles: $\angle ABC, \angle ACB, \angle BAM$ and $\angle CAM$. Is there any "nice relation" between them, so that I am able to express two of them in terms of the others? I have tried sine and Stewart's theorem for medians (and some other trigonometry theorems), but these techniques allow me to express only a jungle of trigonometric functions of these angles. Can anyone find anything better?

Best Answer

$BA\cdot AM\cdot\sin\widehat{BAM} = AM\cdot AC\sin\widehat{CAM}$ (a median splits a triangle in two parts with the same area) hence $$\frac{\sin\widehat{BAM}}{\sin\widehat{CAM}}=\frac{b}{c}=\frac{\sin\widehat{ABC}}{\sin\widehat{ACB}}.$$
