Illustration 6:

If in the DABC, O is circumcenter and R is the circumradius and R1, R2, R3, are circumradii of the triangle OBC, OCA, OAB respectively then prove that

Ans:

 

                                      

                                                            Fig (9)

Clearly in D OBC, ÐBOC = 2A, OB = OC = R, BC = a

 

Incircle:

The Circle which touches all the sides of DABC internally its radius is denoted by r.


How?

Bisect the ÐB and ÐC by line BI and CI meeting in I 

So now I is in center of the circle. Draw ID, IE and IF ^ to 3 sides.

So, ID = IE = IF = r

                

                                                  Fig (10)   

Now we have

Area of DIBC = ½ ID.BC= ½ r.a

Area of DIAC = ½ IE.AC= ½ r.b

Area of DIAB = ½ IF.AB= ½ r.c

Area of DABC= area of DIBC + area of DIAC + area of DIAB.

 

Now what about r =

 

Illustration7:

A, B, C are the angles of a triangle, prove that:

 

Ans:


Excircles or Escribed circles:

               The circle which touch BC and the two sides AB and AC produced is called escribed circle. Opposite the angle A and its radius is denoted by r1. Similarly radii of circle opposite the angle B and C are denoted by r2 and r3 respectively.


How?

          Fig (11)

Produce AB and AC to L and M. Bisect ÐCBL and ÐBCM by lines BI and CI and, let these lines meet in I.

Draw ID, IE, IF ^ to 3 sides respectively.

I is center of the escribed circle and so ID=IF=IE=r1.

Now area of DABC + area of DIBC = area of DIAB + area of DIAC

So, D+ ½ (ID) (BC) = ½ (IF) (AB) + ½ (IE) (AC)

Þ D + ½ r1a = ½ r1c + ½ r1b

 So, D = ½ r1 (b+c-a)

          = ½ r1 ((a+b+c)-2a)

          = ½ r1 (2s-2a)

          = r1 (s-a)

Now what about

 

 


Illustration 8:

Show that

 

Orthocenter and Pedal D:

Let ABC be any triangle and let AD, BE and CF be the altitudes of DABC. Then the DDEF formed by joining point D, E and F the feet of ^ is called the pedal D of DABC.

 

    

                                Fig (12)

Now

1) AH = 2RCosA, BH = 2RCosB, CH = 2CosC 

How?  

 

 

2) HD = 2R CosB CosC, HE = 2R CosA CosC, HF = 2R CosA CosB

Why?

                          Fig (14)

HD = BD tan ÐHBD

       = BD tan (900 - c)

       = AB CosB.CotC
