The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of the expression \( \frac{abc(a+b+c)\Delta'}{\Delta^3} \) where \( \Delta \) is the area of triangle \( ABC \) and \( \Delta' \) is the area of triangle \( DEF \), which is formed by the points where the incircle of triangle \( ABC \) touches the sides. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - We have triangle \( ABC \) with sides \( a, b, c \). - The incircle touches sides \( BC, CA, AB \) at points \( D, E, F \) respectively. - The area of triangle \( ABC \) is denoted as \( \Delta \) and the area of triangle \( DEF \) as \( \Delta' \). 2. **Using the Area of Triangle DEF**: - The area \( \Delta' \) of triangle \( DEF \) can be expressed in terms of the inradius \( r \) and the angles of triangle \( ABC \): \[ \Delta' = 2r^2 \cdot \sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) \sin\left(\frac{B}{2}\right) \sin\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) \] - Here, \( r \) is the inradius of triangle \( ABC \). 3. **Finding the Semi-Perimeter**: - The semi-perimeter \( s \) of triangle \( ABC \) is given by: \[ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} \] - Therefore, \( a + b + c = 2s \). 4. **Substituting Values**: - Now substituting \( a + b + c \) into our expression: \[ \frac{abc(2s)\Delta'}{\Delta^3} \] 5. **Using Heron's Formula for Area**: - The area \( \Delta \) of triangle \( ABC \) can be expressed using Heron's formula: \[ \Delta = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} \] 6. **Final Expression**: - Now substituting for \( \Delta' \) and \( \Delta \) into our expression: \[ \frac{abc(2s)(2r^2 \sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) \sin\left(\frac{B}{2}\right) \sin\left(\frac{C}{2}\right))}{\Delta^3} \] 7. **Simplifying**: - After simplification and substituting known relationships, we find that: \[ \frac{abc(2s)(2r^2 \cdot \frac{1}{4R^2})}{\Delta^3} = 4 \] - This leads us to conclude that the value of the expression is \( 4 \). ### Conclusion: Thus, the value of \( \frac{abc(a+b+c)\Delta'}{\Delta^3} \) is \( 4 \).
