The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the inradius \( r \) of triangle \( ABC \) given that the arithmetic mean (AM) of the ex-radii is 8 and the geometric mean (GM) of the ex-radii is 4. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - AM of ex-radii \( = 8 \) - GM of ex-radii \( = 4 \) 2. **Use the Relationship Between AM, GM, and Harmonic Mean (HM):** - The relationship is given by the formula: \[ G^2 = A \cdot H \] - Here, \( G \) is the GM, \( A \) is the AM, and \( H \) is the HM. - Substitute the known values: \[ 4^2 = 8 \cdot H \] - This simplifies to: \[ 16 = 8H \] - Solving for \( H \): \[ H = \frac{16}{8} = 2 \] 3. **Relate HM to the Ex-Radii:** - The harmonic mean \( H \) of the ex-radii \( r_1, r_2, r_3 \) can be expressed as: \[ H = \frac{3}{\frac{1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{r_2} + \frac{1}{r_3}} \] - Setting this equal to the value we found for \( H \): \[ \frac{3}{\frac{1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{r_2} + \frac{1}{r_3}} = 2 \] 4. **Rearranging the Equation:** - Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 3 = 2 \left( \frac{1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{r_2} + \frac{1}{r_3} \right) \] - Simplifying, we find: \[ \frac{1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{r_2} + \frac{1}{r_3} = \frac{3}{2} \] 5. **Expressing the Sum of the Ex-Radii in Terms of the Semi-Perimeter:** - The ex-radii can be expressed in terms of the area \( \Delta \) and semi-perimeter \( s \): \[ r_1 = \frac{\Delta}{s-a}, \quad r_2 = \frac{\Delta}{s-b}, \quad r_3 = \frac{\Delta}{s-c} \] - Thus, \[ \frac{1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{r_2} + \frac{1}{r_3} = \frac{s-a}{\Delta} + \frac{s-b}{\Delta} + \frac{s-c}{\Delta} \] - This simplifies to: \[ \frac{(s-a) + (s-b) + (s-c)}{\Delta} = \frac{3s - (a+b+c)}{\Delta} = \frac{3s - 2s}{\Delta} = \frac{s}{\Delta} \] 6. **Setting the Equation Equal to the Previously Found Value:** - We have: \[ \frac{s}{\Delta} = \frac{3}{2} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ \Delta = \frac{2s}{3} \] 7. **Finding the Inradius \( r \):** - The inradius \( r \) is given by: \[ r = \frac{\Delta}{s} \] - Substituting the value of \( \Delta \): \[ r = \frac{\frac{2s}{3}}{s} = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Final Answer: The inradius \( r \) is \( \frac{2}{3} \).

To solve the problem, we need to find the inradius \( r \) of triangle \( ABC \) given that the arithmetic mean (AM) of the ex-radii is 8 and the geometric mean (GM) of the ex-radii is 4. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - AM of ex-radii \( = 8 \) - GM of ex-radii \( = 4 \) ...
