The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the harmonic mean of the expressions \(AD \sec \left(\frac{A}{2}\right)\), \(BE \sec \left(\frac{B}{2}\right)\), and \(CF \sec \left(\frac{C}{2}\right)\), where \(AD\), \(BE\), and \(CF\) are the lengths of the internal bisectors of angles \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) respectively in triangle \(ABC\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Find the Length of the Internal Bisector \(AD\)**: The length of the internal bisector \(AD\) can be calculated using the formula: \[ AD = \frac{2bc}{b+c} \cos\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) \] Thus, we have: \[ AD \sec\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) = \frac{2bc}{b+c} \] 2. **Find the Length of the Internal Bisector \(BE\)**: Similarly, for the internal bisector \(BE\): \[ BE = \frac{2ac}{a+c} \cos\left(\frac{B}{2}\right) \] Therefore: \[ BE \sec\left(\frac{B}{2}\right) = \frac{2ac}{a+c} \] 3. **Find the Length of the Internal Bisector \(CF\)**: For the internal bisector \(CF\): \[ CF = \frac{2ab}{a+b} \cos\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) \] Hence: \[ CF \sec\left(\frac{C}{2}\right) = \frac{2ab}{a+b} \] 4. **Calculate the Harmonic Mean**: The harmonic mean (HM) of three quantities \(x_1\), \(x_2\), and \(x_3\) is given by: \[ HM = \frac{3}{\frac{1}{x_1} + \frac{1}{x_2} + \frac{1}{x_3}} \] Applying this to our expressions: \[ HM = \frac{3}{\frac{b+c}{2bc} + \frac{a+c}{2ac} + \frac{a+b}{2ab}} \] 5. **Simplify the Expression**: Combine the fractions in the denominator: \[ HM = \frac{3}{\frac{(b+c)a + (a+c)b + (a+b)c}{2abc}} \] This simplifies to: \[ HM = \frac{3 \cdot 2abc}{(b+c)a + (a+c)b + (a+b)c} \] 6. **Recognize the Denominator**: The denominator can be rewritten as: \[ (b+c)a + (a+c)b + (a+b)c = ab + ac + ba + bc + ca + cb = 2(ab + ac + bc) \] Therefore, we have: \[ HM = \frac{3 \cdot 2abc}{2(ab + ac + bc)} = \frac{3abc}{ab + ac + bc} \] ### Final Answer: The harmonic mean of \(AD \sec\left(\frac{A}{2}\right)\), \(BE \sec\left(\frac{B}{2}\right)\), and \(CF \sec\left(\frac{C}{2}\right)\) is: \[ HM = \frac{3abc}{ab + ac + bc} \]
