The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of the expression \(\frac{a+c}{b} + \frac{b+c}{a}\) given that \(\angle C = 90^\circ\) in triangle \(ABC\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Triangle**: Since \(\angle C = 90^\circ\), triangle \(ABC\) is a right triangle with \(C\) as the right angle. Here, \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) represent the lengths of the sides opposite to angles \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) respectively. 2. **Using Pythagorean Theorem**: From the Pythagorean theorem, we know that: \[ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \] 3. **Rewriting the Expression**: We need to simplify the expression: \[ \frac{a+c}{b} + \frac{b+c}{a} \] We can find a common denominator, which is \(ab\): \[ = \frac{(a+c)a + (b+c)b}{ab} \] 4. **Expanding the Numerator**: Expanding the numerator gives: \[ = \frac{a^2 + ac + b^2 + bc}{ab} \] 5. **Substituting Pythagorean Identity**: We can substitute \(a^2 + b^2\) with \(c^2\): \[ = \frac{c^2 + ac + bc}{ab} \] 6. **Factoring the Numerator**: The numerator can be factored: \[ = \frac{c^2 + c(a + b)}{ab} \] This can be rewritten as: \[ = \frac{c(c + a + b)}{ab} \] 7. **Using the Semi-Perimeter**: The semi-perimeter \(s\) of triangle \(ABC\) is given by: \[ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} \] Therefore, \(2s = a + b + c\). 8. **Final Expression**: Substituting \(2s\) into our expression gives: \[ = \frac{c(2s)}{ab} \] 9. **Using the Circumradius**: The circumradius \(R\) of triangle \(ABC\) is given by: \[ R = \frac{abc}{4\Delta} \] where \(\Delta\) is the area of triangle \(ABC\). For a right triangle, \(\Delta = \frac{1}{2}ab\), hence: \[ R = \frac{abc}{2ab} = \frac{c}{2} \] 10. **Substituting for \(R\)**: Therefore, we can express \(c\) in terms of \(R\): \[ c = 2R \] 11. **Final Result**: Substituting \(c\) back into our expression gives: \[ = \frac{2R(2s)}{ab} = \frac{4Rs}{ab} \] 12. **Conclusion**: The final value of the expression \(\frac{a+c}{b} + \frac{b+c}{a}\) simplifies to: \[ = \frac{c}{r} \] where \(r\) is the radius of the inscribed circle. ### Final Answer: \[ \frac{c}{r} \]
