The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the limit of the angle \( A_n \) as \( n \) approaches infinity, where \( A_n \) is the angle at vertex A of the triangle formed by the incircles of the triangles formed in each iteration. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - The incircle of triangle \( \Delta ABC \) touches the sides at points \( A_1, B_1, C_1 \). - The incircle of triangle \( \Delta A_1B_1C_1 \) touches its sides at points \( A_2, B_2, C_2 \), and this process continues indefinitely. - We need to find \( \lim_{n \to \infty} \angle A_n \). 2. **Finding \( \angle A_1 \)**: - By the properties of tangents to a circle, we know that \( \angle A_1 = \frac{\pi - A}{2} \), where \( A \) is the angle at vertex A in triangle \( ABC \). 3. **Finding \( \angle A_2 \)**: - For the second triangle \( \Delta A_1B_1C_1 \), we can use the same reasoning: \[ \angle A_2 = \frac{\pi - \angle A_1}{2} = \frac{\pi - \frac{\pi - A}{2}}{2} = \frac{2\pi - \pi + A}{4} = \frac{\pi + A}{4} \] 4. **Finding \( \angle A_3 \)**: - Continuing this process, we find: \[ \angle A_3 = \frac{\pi - \angle A_2}{2} = \frac{\pi - \frac{\pi + A}{4}}{2} = \frac{4\pi - \pi - A}{8} = \frac{3\pi - A}{8} \] 5. **Generalizing \( \angle A_n \)**: - We can observe a pattern and generalize: \[ \angle A_n = \frac{(2^n - 1)\pi + (-1)^{n-1} A}{2^n} \] - This can be derived from the recursive relationship established in the previous steps. 6. **Taking the Limit**: - Now we take the limit as \( n \to \infty \): \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \angle A_n = \lim_{n \to \infty} \left( \frac{(2^n - 1)\pi + (-1)^{n-1} A}{2^n} \right) \] - As \( n \to \infty \), the term \( \frac{(2^n - 1)\pi}{2^n} \) approaches \( \pi \) and the term \( \frac{(-1)^{n-1} A}{2^n} \) approaches \( 0 \). 7. **Final Result**: - Thus, we conclude: \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \angle A_n = \pi \] ### Conclusion: The final answer is: \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \angle A_n = \pi \]
