I dont know if this is the smartest way to go about it.
 
Let the sides be a-d,a, a+d.
 
Then the ratio in the required format is 1-a/d:a:1+a/d.
 
Hence, our task is to find a/d
 
a-d = k sinA; a = k sinB; a+d = k sinc
 
Since, sinA, sinB, sinC are also in AP
2sinB = sinA+sinC
 
which gives 2cos(A+C/2) = cos/2
 
Now a/d = sinA+sinC/(sinC-sinA) = tan(A+C/2) cot/2
 
Since  cos(A+C/2) = 0.5*cos/2, tan(A+C/2) = (4-cos2/2)/cos(/2)

Hence a/d = (4-cos2/2)/cos(/2) * cot/2 = (4-cos2/2) /sin(/2)
