(b) Consider the following statement: There is a triangle that is not equilateral whose side lengths form a geometric sequence, and the measures of whose angles form an arithmetic sequence. Show that this statement is true by finding such a triangle or prove that it is false by demonstrating that there cannot be such a triangle.
