The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the expression \( \frac{a}{x} + \frac{b}{y} + \frac{c}{z} - \frac{abc}{4xyz} \), where \( x, y, z \) are the perpendiculars from the circumcenter \( O \) of triangle \( ABC \) to its sides \( BC, CA, AB \) respectively. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Geometry**: - Let \( O \) be the circumcenter of triangle \( ABC \). - The perpendiculars from \( O \) to the sides \( BC, CA, AB \) are denoted as \( x, y, z \) respectively. - The sides opposite to vertices \( A, B, C \) are denoted as \( a, b, c \). 2. **Using the Relationship of Sides and Perpendiculars**: - The lengths of the perpendiculars can be expressed in terms of the circumradius \( R \) and the angles of the triangle: \[ x = R \cos A, \quad y = R \cos B, \quad z = R \cos C \] 3. **Substituting into the Expression**: - Substitute \( x, y, z \) into the expression: \[ \frac{a}{x} = \frac{a}{R \cos A}, \quad \frac{b}{y} = \frac{b}{R \cos B}, \quad \frac{c}{z} = \frac{c}{R \cos C} \] - Therefore, we have: \[ \frac{a}{x} + \frac{b}{y} + \frac{c}{z} = \frac{a}{R \cos A} + \frac{b}{R \cos B} + \frac{c}{R \cos C} \] 4. **Combining the Terms**: - Factor out \( \frac{1}{R} \): \[ = \frac{1}{R} \left( \frac{a}{\cos A} + \frac{b}{\cos B} + \frac{c}{\cos C} \right) \] 5. **Evaluating the Second Term**: - Now, consider the term \( \frac{abc}{4xyz} \): \[ 4xyz = 4(R \cos A)(R \cos B)(R \cos C) = 4R^3 \cos A \cos B \cos C \] - Thus: \[ \frac{abc}{4xyz} = \frac{abc}{4R^3 \cos A \cos B \cos C} \] 6. **Putting Everything Together**: - Now, substituting back into the original expression: \[ \frac{1}{R} \left( \frac{a}{\cos A} + \frac{b}{\cos B} + \frac{c}{\cos C} \right) - \frac{abc}{4R^3 \cos A \cos B \cos C} \] 7. **Using Known Trigonometric Identities**: - We know from trigonometric identities that: \[ \frac{a}{\cos A} + \frac{b}{\cos B} + \frac{c}{\cos C} = 2R \left( \tan A + \tan B + \tan C \right) \] - Thus, we can rewrite the expression as: \[ 2 \left( \tan A + \tan B + \tan C \right) - \frac{abc}{4R^3 \cos A \cos B \cos C} \] 8. **Final Evaluation**: - It is known that in any triangle, the sum of the tangents of the angles is equal to the product of the tangents minus the sum of the tangents: \[ \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = \tan A \tan B \tan C \] - Therefore, the entire expression simplifies to zero: \[ \frac{a}{x} + \frac{b}{y} + \frac{c}{z} - \frac{abc}{4xyz} = 0 \] ### Final Answer: \[ \frac{a}{x} + \frac{b}{y} + \frac{c}{z} - \frac{abc}{4xyz} = 0 \]
