Let the mid points of the sides of a triangle be \left(\dfrac{5}{2}, 7\right) and (4, 5). If its incentre is , then is equal to :
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Let the vertices of the triangle be , , and .
Let the given midpoints be of sides , , and respectively:
Midpoint of and
Midpoint of and
Midpoint of and
Adding the three equations for the -coordinates:
Substituting the known sums:
Similarly, for -coordinates:
So, the vertices are , , and .
Lengths of the sides:
Coordinates of the incentre :
So, the incentre is .
Therefore:
Hence, the correct option is .
