Let ABCA B C be a triangle with ∠BAC=90∘\angle B A C=90^{\circ} and DD be the point on the side BCB C such that AD⊥BCA D \perp B C. Let r,r1r, r_1, and r2r_2 be the inradii of triangles ABC,ABDA B C, A B D and ACDA C D, respectively. If r,r1r, r_1, and r2r_2 are positive integers and one of them is 5 , find the largest possible value of r+r1+r2r+r_1+r_2.Let A B C be a triangle with B A C=90^ and D be the point on the side B C such that A D B C . Let r, r_1 , and r_2 be

Correct answer

Step-by-step solution

∵△ABD∼△ACD∼△ABC\because \triangle A B D \sim \triangle A C D \sim \triangle A B C Let A B C be a triangle with B A C=90^ and D be the point on the side B C such that A D B C . Let r, r_1 , and r_2 be
And hypotenuse of these triangles follow the Pythagoras theorem. So r12+r22=r2r_1^2+r_2^2=r^2 If r1,r2,r∈Nr_1, r_2, r \in N and least is 5 , then the other two must be 12 and 13 . (r+r1+r2)max⁡=30\left(r+r_1+r_2\right)_{\max }=30
