The correct Answer is:
To find the angle \( \angle DEF \) in triangle \( \Delta ABC \) where the incircle touches the sides at points \( D, E, \) and \( F \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Incenter and Points of Contact**: - Let \( I \) be the incenter of triangle \( ABC \). - The incircle touches side \( BC \) at point \( D \), side \( AC \) at point \( E \), and side \( AB \) at point \( F \). 2. **Understand the Angles Involved**: - The angles \( \angle IFA \), \( \angle IEA \), \( \angle IDC \), and \( \angle IEC \) are all \( 90^\circ \) because the radius at the point of contact is perpendicular to the tangent (the sides of the triangle). 3. **Consider Quadrilaterals**: - The quadrilateral \( IFAE \) and \( IECD \) are formed. Since \( IFAE \) is a cyclic quadrilateral, we can use the property of cyclic quadrilaterals. 4. **Use the Angle Sum Property**: - In quadrilateral \( IFAE \): \[ \angle IFA + \angle IEA + \angle A = 360^\circ \] Since \( \angle IFA = 90^\circ \) and \( \angle IEA = 90^\circ \): \[ 90^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle A = 360^\circ \implies \angle FIE = 180^\circ - \angle A \] 5. **Isosceles Triangle Properties**: - Since \( IF = IE = R \) (the inradius), triangle \( IFE \) is isosceles. Thus, \( \angle IEF = \angle IFE = X \). - From the angle sum property in triangle \( IFE \): \[ 2X + \angle FIE = 180^\circ \] Substituting \( \angle FIE = 180^\circ - \angle A \): \[ 2X + (180^\circ - \angle A) = 180^\circ \implies 2X = \angle A \implies X = \frac{\angle A}{2} \] 6. **Repeat for the Other Angles**: - By similar reasoning in triangle \( IED \): \[ \angle IED = \angle IDC = Y \implies 2Y + (180^\circ - \angle C) = 180^\circ \implies 2Y = \angle C \implies Y = \frac{\angle C}{2} \] 7. **Calculate \( \angle DEF \)**: - Now, \( \angle DEF = \angle IEF + \angle IED = X + Y \): \[ \angle DEF = \frac{\angle A}{2} + \frac{\angle C}{2} = \frac{\angle A + \angle C}{2} \] - Since \( \angle A + \angle C + \angle B = 180^\circ \): \[ \angle A + \angle C = 180^\circ - \angle B \implies \angle DEF = \frac{180^\circ - \angle B}{2} = 90^\circ - \frac{\angle B}{2} \] ### Final Answer: \[ \angle DEF = 90^\circ - \frac{\angle B}{2} \]

To find the angle \( \angle DEF \) in triangle \( \Delta ABC \) where the incircle touches the sides at points \( D, E, \) and \( F \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Incenter and Points of Contact**: - Let \( I \) be the incenter of triangle \( ABC \). - The incircle touches side \( BC \) at point \( D \), side \( AC \) at point \( E \), and side \( AB \) at point \( F \). ...
