Another solution (using 1487): Let X be on AD such that BX is the angle bisector of ABD DX/XA=12/15=4/5 XA=5DX/4 AD=9DX/4=9 So DX=4 EX=Inradius=5 (O center of Blue circle. BOXA is concyclic and triangle OXE is right and isosceles) =>DE=EX-DX=1
ABD and BCD are similar and their sides are in the ratio 3:4 Let BC=x,DC=y=>AB=3/4x,AD=9/16y Apply Pythagoras to ABC =>9/16x2+x2=25.25/16.16y2 =>x=5/4y Substituting x with the above value and representing the sides of ABC in terms of y => a=5/4y, b=25/16y,c=15/16y Semi-perimeter of ABC P=15/8y AE=P-a=15/8y-5/4y=5/8y Hence DE=AE-AD=5/8y-9/16y=1/16y --------(1) To deduce the value of "y", lets first find the in-circle radius of ABC ADB is similar to ABC => AB/3=AC/r => 15y/16.3=25y/16.r => r=5 r.P=S(ABC) =>5.15y/8=1/2.5y/4.15y/16 =>y=16 Substituting "y" in (1) => DE=1
Tr.s ABD, BDC, ABC are similar.
ReplyDeleteIf r is the inradius, r/b = 3/c = 4/a ( = 1/n say) and since a^2 + c^2 = b^2, r = 5.
So a = 4n, b = 5n and c = 3n
Now also r = ac/(a+b+c) from which 5.(4n + 5n + 3n) =12.n^2
so that n = 5 and hence a = 20, b = 25 and c = 15
So DE = CD - CE = 20^2/25 - (20 + 25 - 15)/2 = 16 - 15 = 1

From D are drown vertical two equal tangential segments
ReplyDeleteSo FP (P tg point of red circle)=DE=4-3=1
How is FP = DE?

DeleteSo centers of three circles lie on a circle with center E
Delete=> from one of righttriangles with side 3, 4 can calculate the R=5

ReplyDeleteBD.25=15.20
BD=12
Also 3/AD=5/15
AD=9
let P,O,Q be the centers of Green,Blue and Red incircles.M,N be the foot of perpendiculars from P and Q on AC
let AM=u, CN=v and we know DM=3, DN=4
APM similar to AOE, so AE=5u/3
CQN similar to COE, so CE=5v/4
AE+CE=(20u+15v)/12=25
4u+3v=60
But u+3+v+4=25=> u+v=18
hence u=6 & AE=10
AD=9; it follows DE=1
Another solution (using 1487):
Let X be on AD such that BX is the angle bisector of ABD
DX/XA=12/15=4/5
XA=5DX/4
AD=9DX/4=9
So DX=4
EX=Inradius=5 (O center of Blue circle. BOXA is concyclic and triangle OXE is right and isosceles)
=>DE=EX-DX=1
ABD and BCD are similar and their sides are in the ratio 3:4
ReplyDeleteLet BC=x,DC=y=>AB=3/4x,AD=9/16y
Apply Pythagoras to ABC
=>9/16x2+x2=25.25/16.16y2
=>x=5/4y
Substituting x with the above value and representing the sides of ABC in terms of y => a=5/4y, b=25/16y,c=15/16y
Semi-perimeter of ABC P=15/8y
AE=P-a=15/8y-5/4y=5/8y
Hence DE=AE-AD=5/8y-9/16y=1/16y --------(1)
To deduce the value of "y", lets first find the in-circle radius of ABC
ADB is similar to ABC => AB/3=AC/r => 15y/16.3=25y/16.r => r=5
r.P=S(ABC)
=>5.15y/8=1/2.5y/4.15y/16
=>y=16
Substituting "y" in (1) => DE=1
How to solve the y you seem to have a little mistake
