Let D...Let the in circle be P and the excircle be Q<br />Let DAC touch circle P at X & circle Q at Y<br />Let DB touch circle P at U and circle Q at V<br /><br />Let AB = BC = a, AX = b, CY = c and <br />AE = EC = d<br />Let the bisector of < BAE meet BE at T<br /><br />ET = hd / (a + d) ......(1)<br /><br />Now PXA, TEA & QYC are similar triangles<br />So b / r1 = c / r2 = ET / d = h / (a + d) <br />= (b + c) / ( r1 + r2) = (a - d) / (r1 + r2) from (1)<br /><br />Hence (r1 + r2)h = a^2 - d^2 = h^2<br />Therefore r1 + r2 = h<br /><br />Sumith Peiris<br />Moratuwa<br />Sri LankaSumith Peirishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06211995240466447227noreply@blogger.com
