The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the range of angle A in triangle ABC, given that the line segment joining the circumcenter (O) and the incenter (I) is parallel to the base BC. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Configuration**: - We have triangle ABC with circumcenter O and incenter I. - The line segment OI is parallel to the base BC. 2. **Properties of Parallel Lines**: - Since OI is parallel to BC, we can conclude that the distances from O to line BC and from I to line BC are equal. This implies that the quadrilateral OIDE (where D is the foot of the perpendicular from O to BC, and E is the foot of the perpendicular from I to BC) is a rectangle. 3. **Using the Properties of the Triangle**: - In this rectangle, we have: - OD = IE - Here, OD can be expressed in terms of angle A as: - \( OD = r \cos A \) (where r is the circumradius). - The length IE is simply the inradius \( r \). 4. **Setting Up the Equation**: - Since OD = IE, we have: \[ r \cos A = r \] - Dividing both sides by r (assuming r > 0), we get: \[ \cos A = 1 \] 5. **Understanding the Range of Cosine**: - The cosine function varies between -1 and 1. However, for angles in a triangle, we restrict our attention to the range where \( \cos A \) is non-negative. - Therefore, we have: \[ 0 < \cos A \leq \frac{1}{2} \] 6. **Finding the Corresponding Angles**: - The angle A corresponds to: - \( \cos A = 0 \) at \( A = 90^\circ \) (or \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) radians). - \( \cos A = \frac{1}{2} \) at \( A = 60^\circ \) (or \( \frac{\pi}{3} \) radians). 7. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the range of angle A is: \[ \frac{\pi}{3} < A < \frac{\pi}{2} \] ### Final Answer: The range of angle A is \( \left( \frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right) \).
