let BC = a, AB = c and AC = b and s=(a+b+c)/2 use the formulae, ra = S/(s-a), rb = S/(s-b) and rc = S/(s-c) and finally r = S/s where S denotes the area of the triangle ABC. now r*ra*rb*rc = (S*S*S*S)/s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) but s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) = S^2 and this follows from heron's formula. which implies that r*ra*rb*rc = S^4/S^2 = S^2. so that S = (r*ra*rb*rc)^(1/2). Q. E. D.
lengths BC=a, CA=b, AB=c; s=(a+b+c)/2
ReplyDeleteS=sr
S=[EAB]+[EAC]-[EBC]=c(r_a)/2+b(r_a)/2-a(r_a)/2=(s-a)(r_a),=(s-b)(r_b)=(s-c)(r_c)
By Heron's formula:
S=√[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)]
S√[r(r_a)(r_b)(r_c)]=√[sr(s-a)(r_a)(s-b)(r_b)(s-c)(r_c)]=S²
S=√[r(r_a)(r_b)(r_c)]
let BC = a, AB = c and AC = b and s=(a+b+c)/2

so that S = (r*ra*rb*rc)^(1/2).

To Antonio: When I try to get the comments or solutions of problem 196, I only get those of problem 195. Is there any bug in the links?
ReplyDeleteTo Nilton (problem 196), thanks for your information, the link has been corrected.
