For a triangle $\Delta ABC$, prove that there are real numbers $s_A,s_B,s_C$ so that,
$1. 0<s_A,s_B,s_C<1$
$2. s_A+s_B+s_C=2$
$3. s_A\cos A+s_B\cos B+s_C\cos C=1$

Hint:

$\color{white}{\text{Draw a perpendicular from any vertex to the opposite side.}}$ $\color{white}{\text{ Does the division remind you of something?}}$

Well, I created this using the same method but I was hoping for a solution with Barycentric coordinate system. :)
