The correct Answer is:
To find the radius of the excentre in triangle ABC where AB = 13, BC = 14, and CA = 15, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the semi-perimeter (s) The semi-perimeter \( s \) of a triangle is given by the formula: \[ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} \] where \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) are the lengths of the sides of the triangle. For triangle ABC: - \( a = BC = 14 \) - \( b = CA = 15 \) - \( c = AB = 13 \) Calculating the semi-perimeter: \[ s = \frac{14 + 15 + 13}{2} = \frac{42}{2} = 21 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the area (Δ) of the triangle using Heron's formula Heron's formula for the area \( Δ \) of a triangle is given by: \[ Δ = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} \] Substituting the values: - \( s = 21 \) - \( s - a = 21 - 14 = 7 \) - \( s - b = 21 - 15 = 6 \) - \( s - c = 21 - 13 = 8 \) Now, substituting these into Heron's formula: \[ Δ = \sqrt{21 \times 7 \times 6 \times 8} \] Calculating: \[ Δ = \sqrt{21 \times 7 \times 6 \times 8} = \sqrt{21 \times 336} = \sqrt{7056} \] Calculating \( \sqrt{7056} \): \[ Δ = 84 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the radius of the excentres (R_a, R_b, R_c) The radius of the excentres can be calculated using the formulas: \[ R_a = \frac{Δ}{s-a}, \quad R_b = \frac{Δ}{s-b}, \quad R_c = \frac{Δ}{s-c} \] Calculating \( R_a \): \[ R_a = \frac{84}{s - a} = \frac{84}{21 - 14} = \frac{84}{7} = 12 \] Calculating \( R_b \): \[ R_b = \frac{84}{s - b} = \frac{84}{21 - 15} = \frac{84}{6} = 14 \] Calculating \( R_c \): \[ R_c = \frac{84}{s - c} = \frac{84}{21 - 13} = \frac{84}{8} = 10.5 \] ### Conclusion The radius of the excentres are: - \( R_a = 12 \) - \( R_b = 14 \) - \( R_c = 10.5 \)
