Let e= AC and 2p1= perimeter of triangle ABC and 2p2= perimeter of triangle ACD
ReplyDeleteIn triangle ACD we have AF= p2-c= ½(d+c+e)-c
In triangle ABC we have AE= p1-b= ½(a+b+e)- b
X= AF-AE=½(d+c+e)-c-(½(a+b+e)- b)= ½(b+d-a-c)
Let the points of tangency on AB, BC, CD, DA respectively be X,Y,U,V.
ReplyDeleteIf BX = BY = p, AX = AE = a-p, CF = CU = b-p-x.
So DU = DV = c-b+p+x.
Hence AV = d + c - b - p - x = AF = a-p+x
So 2x = d + c - b - a.
