The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the given ratios of the exradii and the relationships between the sides and angles of triangle \( ABC \). ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Given Ratios**: We are given that the exradii \( r_1 : r_2 : r_3 = 1 : 2 : 3 \). This implies: \[ r_1 = k, \quad r_2 = 2k, \quad r_3 = 3k \] for some positive constant \( k \). 2. **Using the Relationship between Exradii and Semiperimeter**: The exradii are related to the area \( \Delta \) and the semiperimeter \( S \) of the triangle as follows: \[ r_1 = \frac{\Delta}{S - A}, \quad r_2 = \frac{\Delta}{S - B}, \quad r_3 = \frac{\Delta}{S - C} \] Thus, we can write: \[ \frac{\Delta}{S - A} : \frac{\Delta}{S - B} : \frac{\Delta}{S - C} = 1 : 2 : 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{1}{S - A} : \frac{1}{S - B} : \frac{1}{S - C} = 1 : 2 : 3 \] 3. **Setting Up the Equations**: Let: \[ S - A = 6k, \quad S - B = 3k, \quad S - C = 2k \] 4. **Finding the Semiperimeter**: Adding these equations gives: \[ (S - A) + (S - B) + (S - C) = 6k + 3k + 2k = 11k \] This simplifies to: \[ 3S - (A + B + C) = 11k \] Since \( A + B + C = 2S \), we can substitute: \[ 3S - 2S = 11k \implies S = 11k \] 5. **Finding the Angles**: Now substituting \( S \) back into the equations for \( A, B, \) and \( C \): \[ A = S - 6k = 11k - 6k = 5k \] \[ B = S - 3k = 11k - 3k = 8k \] \[ C = S - 2k = 11k - 2k = 9k \] 6. **Finding the Greatest Angle**: The greatest angle in triangle \( ABC \) is \( C \). We can find \( \cos C \) using the cosine rule: \[ \cos C = \frac{A^2 + B^2 - C^2}{2AB} \] Substituting the values: \[ \cos C = \frac{(5k)^2 + (8k)^2 - (9k)^2}{2 \cdot (5k)(8k)} \] This simplifies to: \[ \cos C = \frac{25k^2 + 64k^2 - 81k^2}{80k^2} = \frac{8k^2}{80k^2} = \frac{1}{10} \] 7. **Finding Angle \( C \)**: Therefore, the angle \( C \) is: \[ C = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{10}\right) \] ### Final Answer The greatest angle of triangle \( ABC \) is \( C = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{10}\right) \).

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the given ratios of the exradii and the relationships between the sides and angles of triangle \( ABC \). ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Given Ratios**: We are given that the exradii \( r_1 : r_2 : r_3 = 1 : 2 : 3 \).
