The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the least value of the expression \(\frac{\Delta_1 \Delta_2 \Delta_3}{729 \Delta^3}\), where \(\Delta\) is the area of the incircle of triangle ABC and \(\Delta_1, \Delta_2, \Delta_3\) are the areas of the excircles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Areas**: - The area of the incircle \(\Delta\) is given by the formula: \[ \Delta = \pi r^2 \] where \(r\) is the radius of the incircle. - The radius of the incircle can be expressed as: \[ r = \frac{\Delta}{s} \] where \(s\) is the semi-perimeter of the triangle. 2. **Finding the Areas of the Excircles**: - The areas of the excircles \(\Delta_1, \Delta_2, \Delta_3\) can be expressed as: \[ \Delta_1 = \pi r_1^2, \quad \Delta_2 = \pi r_2^2, \quad \Delta_3 = \pi r_3^2 \] - The radii of the excircles can be expressed as: \[ r_1 = \frac{\Delta}{s-a}, \quad r_2 = \frac{\Delta}{s-b}, \quad r_3 = \frac{\Delta}{s-c} \] 3. **Substituting the Radii**: - Therefore, the areas of the excircles become: \[ \Delta_1 = \pi \left(\frac{\Delta}{s-a}\right)^2, \quad \Delta_2 = \pi \left(\frac{\Delta}{s-b}\right)^2, \quad \Delta_3 = \pi \left(\frac{\Delta}{s-c}\right)^2 \] 4. **Calculating the Product**: - Now, we can calculate the product \(\Delta_1 \Delta_2 \Delta_3\): \[ \Delta_1 \Delta_2 \Delta_3 = \pi^3 \frac{\Delta^6}{(s-a)^2 (s-b)^2 (s-c)^2} \] 5. **Substituting into the Expression**: - Now substituting this into our expression: \[ \frac{\Delta_1 \Delta_2 \Delta_3}{729 \Delta^3} = \frac{\pi^3 \frac{\Delta^6}{(s-a)^2 (s-b)^2 (s-c)^2}}{729 \Delta^3} \] - This simplifies to: \[ \frac{\pi^3 \Delta^3}{729 (s-a)^2 (s-b)^2 (s-c)^2} \] 6. **Finding the Minimum Value**: - The expression achieves its minimum value when the triangle is equilateral. For an equilateral triangle with side length \(L\): - The semi-perimeter \(s = \frac{3L}{2}\). - Thus, \(s-a = s-b = s-c = \frac{L}{2}\). - Substituting these values gives: \[ \frac{\pi^3 \Delta^3}{729 \left(\frac{L}{2}\right)^6} \] - Simplifying this leads to: \[ \frac{\pi^3 \Delta^3}{729 \cdot \frac{L^6}{64}} = \frac{64 \pi^3 \Delta^3}{729 L^6} \] 7. **Final Calculation**: - Since \(\Delta\) for an equilateral triangle can be expressed in terms of \(L\), we find that the minimum value of the expression is \(1\). ### Conclusion: The least value of \(\frac{\Delta_1 \Delta_2 \Delta_3}{729 \Delta^3}\) is \(1\).
