The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information and apply some trigonometric identities and properties of triangles and circles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Geometry**: - We have triangle \( \Delta ABC \) with altitude \( AD \) from vertex \( A \) to side \( BC \). - The line \( AD \) is extended to meet the circumcircle of triangle \( ABC \) at point \( P \), with \( DP = x \). - Similarly, \( EQ = y \) and \( FR = z \) are defined for points \( Q \) and \( R \). 2. **Using the Power of a Point Theorem**: - By the Power of a Point theorem, we have: \[ AD \cdot DP = BD \cdot DC \] - Rearranging gives: \[ DP = \frac{BD \cdot DC}{AD} \] - Since \( DP = x \), we can write: \[ x = \frac{BD \cdot DC}{AD} \] 3. **Expressing \( \frac{a}{2x} \)**: - From the relationship above, we can express \( \frac{a}{2x} \): \[ \frac{a}{2x} = \frac{a \cdot AD}{2 \cdot BD \cdot DC} \] 4. **Applying Similar Logic for \( b \) and \( c \)**: - Similarly, we can express \( \frac{b}{2y} \) and \( \frac{c}{2z} \): \[ \frac{b}{2y} = \frac{b \cdot AE}{2 \cdot CE \cdot AF} \] \[ \frac{c}{2z} = \frac{c \cdot AF}{2 \cdot BF \cdot AE} \] 5. **Combining the Expressions**: - Now we add these three fractions: \[ \frac{a}{2x} + \frac{b}{2y} + \frac{c}{2z} = \frac{a \cdot AD}{2 \cdot BD \cdot DC} + \frac{b \cdot AE}{2 \cdot CE \cdot AF} + \frac{c \cdot AF}{2 \cdot BF \cdot AE} \] 6. **Using Trigonometric Identities**: - We can relate the sides of the triangle to the tangents of the angles: \[ \frac{a}{2x} = \frac{1}{2} \tan B + \frac{1}{2} \tan C \] \[ \frac{b}{2y} = \frac{1}{2} \tan C + \frac{1}{2} \tan A \] \[ \frac{c}{2z} = \frac{1}{2} \tan A + \frac{1}{2} \tan B \] 7. **Final Result**: - Adding these gives: \[ \frac{a}{2x} + \frac{b}{2y} + \frac{c}{2z} = \frac{1}{2} (\tan A + \tan B + \tan C) \] - Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is \( 180^\circ \), we can conclude that: \[ \frac{a}{2x} + \frac{b}{2y} + \frac{c}{2z} = 1 \] ### Conclusion: The value of \( \frac{a}{2x} + \frac{b}{2y} + \frac{c}{2z} \) is equal to \( 1 \).
