The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio \( R : r \) in triangle \( ABC \) given the ratio of the exradii \( r_1 : r_2 : r_3 = 1 : 2 : 3 \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Ratios**: We are given that the exradii \( r_1, r_2, r_3 \) opposite to vertices \( A, B, C \) respectively are in the ratio \( 1 : 2 : 3 \). We can express these exradii in terms of a variable \( k \): \[ r_1 = k, \quad r_2 = 2k, \quad r_3 = 3k \] 2. **Using the Relationship Between Exradii and Area**: The exradius \( r_i \) is related to the area \( \Delta \) and the semi-perimeter \( s \) of the triangle: \[ r_1 = \frac{\Delta}{s - a}, \quad r_2 = \frac{\Delta}{s - b}, \quad r_3 = \frac{\Delta}{s - c} \] From the ratios, we can write: \[ \frac{\Delta}{s - a} = k, \quad \frac{\Delta}{s - b} = 2k, \quad \frac{\Delta}{s - c} = 3k \] 3. **Setting Up the Equations**: Rearranging the above equations gives: \[ s - a = \frac{\Delta}{k}, \quad s - b = \frac{\Delta}{2k}, \quad s - c = \frac{\Delta}{3k} \] 4. **Expressing \( a, b, c \) in terms of \( \Delta \) and \( k \)**: From the equations, we can express \( a, b, c \): \[ a = s - \frac{\Delta}{k}, \quad b = s - \frac{\Delta}{2k}, \quad c = s - \frac{\Delta}{3k} \] 5. **Finding the Semi-perimeter \( s \)**: Adding these equations gives: \[ a + b + c = 3s - \left( \frac{\Delta}{k} + \frac{\Delta}{2k} + \frac{\Delta}{3k} \right) \] The common denominator for the fractions is \( 6k \): \[ a + b + c = 3s - \frac{11\Delta}{6k} \] Since \( s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} \), we can substitute this into the equation. 6. **Using the Area \( \Delta \)**: The area \( \Delta \) can also be expressed in terms of the circumradius \( R \) and the sides \( a, b, c \): \[ \Delta = \frac{abc}{4R} \] 7. **Finding the Ratio \( R : r \)**: The inradius \( r \) is given by: \[ r = \frac{\Delta}{s} \] Therefore, the ratio \( \frac{R}{r} \) can be expressed as: \[ \frac{R}{r} = \frac{R \cdot s}{\Delta} \] Substituting the expressions we derived, we find: \[ \frac{R}{r} = \frac{abc \cdot s}{4R \cdot s} = \frac{abc}{4R} \] 8. **Final Calculation**: After substituting the values of \( a, b, c \) in terms of \( k \) and simplifying, we find: \[ R : r = 5 : 2 \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the value of \( R : r \) is: \[ \boxed{5 : 2} \]
