The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \cot\left(\frac{B}{2}\right) \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) \) given the coordinates of vertex \( A \) and the equations of the internal angle bisectors of angles \( B \) and \( C \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Coordinates of Vertex A:** Given \( A = (4, -1) \). 2. **Determine the Equations of the Internal Angle Bisectors:** - The internal angle bisector of angle \( B \) is given by the equation \( x - 1 = 0 \). This is a vertical line at \( x = 1 \). - The internal angle bisector of angle \( C \) is given by the equation \( x - y - 1 = 0 \). Rearranging gives \( y = x - 1 \). 3. **Find the Intersection Point of the Angle Bisectors:** To find the coordinates of point \( D \) where the angle bisectors intersect, we can substitute \( x = 1 \) into the second equation: \[ y = 1 - 1 = 0 \] Thus, the intersection point \( D \) is \( (1, 0) \). 4. **Determine the Coordinates of Vertex B and C:** Since \( B \) lies on the line \( x = 1 \), we can denote \( B = (1, b) \) for some \( b \). Since \( C \) lies on the line \( y = x - 1 \), we can denote \( C = (c, c-1) \) for some \( c \). 5. **Calculate the Slopes of Lines AB and AC:** - Slope of line \( AB \): \[ m_{AB} = \frac{b - (-1)}{1 - 4} = \frac{b + 1}{-3} \] - Slope of line \( AC \): \[ m_{AC} = \frac{(c - 1) - (-1)}{c - 4} = \frac{c}{c - 4} \] 6. **Find the Angles B and C:** Using the formula for the tangent of the angle between two lines: \[ \tan B = \left| \frac{m_{AB} - m_{AC}}{1 + m_{AB} m_{AC}} \right| \] \[ \tan C = \left| \frac{m_{AC} - m_{AB}}{1 + m_{AC} m_{AB}} \right| \] 7. **Calculate \( \cot\left(\frac{B}{2}\right) \) and \( \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) \):** Using the half-angle formulas: \[ \cot\left(\frac{B}{2}\right) = \frac{1 + \cos B}{\sin B} \] \[ \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) = \frac{1 + \cos C}{\sin C} \] 8. **Combine the Results:** Finally, we compute \( \cot\left(\frac{B}{2}\right) \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) \). ### Final Calculation: After calculating the values, we find: \[ \cot\left(\frac{B}{2}\right) = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) = 3 \] Thus, \[ \cot\left(\frac{B}{2}\right) \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) = 2 \times 3 = 6 \] ### Answer: \[ \cot\left(\frac{B}{2}\right) \cot\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) = 6 \]
