The correct Answer is:
To find the incenter of the triangle OAB formed by the origin O and the points A and B where the line \(3x + 4y - 24 = 0\) intersects the x-axis and y-axis, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the points of intersection A and B 1. **Find point A (intersection with x-axis)**: - Set \(y = 0\) in the equation \(3x + 4y - 24 = 0\): \[ 3x + 4(0) - 24 = 0 \implies 3x = 24 \implies x = 8 \] - Thus, point A is \((8, 0)\). 2. **Find point B (intersection with y-axis)**: - Set \(x = 0\) in the equation \(3x + 4y - 24 = 0\): \[ 3(0) + 4y - 24 = 0 \implies 4y = 24 \implies y = 6 \] - Thus, point B is \((0, 6)\). ### Step 2: Identify the vertices of triangle OAB - The vertices of triangle OAB are: - \(O(0, 0)\) - \(A(8, 0)\) - \(B(0, 6)\) ### Step 3: Calculate the lengths of the sides of triangle OAB 1. **Length OA**: \[ OA = \sqrt{(8 - 0)^2 + (0 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{8^2} = 8 \] 2. **Length OB**: \[ OB = \sqrt{(0 - 0)^2 + (6 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{6^2} = 6 \] 3. **Length AB**: \[ AB = \sqrt{(8 - 0)^2 + (0 - 6)^2} = \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{64 + 36} = \sqrt{100} = 10 \] ### Step 4: Use the incenter formula The coordinates of the incenter \(I\) of triangle \(OAB\) can be calculated using the formula: \[ I_x = \frac{aA_x + bB_x + cO_x}{a + b + c} \] \[ I_y = \frac{aA_y + bB_y + cO_y}{a + b + c} \] Where: - \(a = OB = 6\) - \(b = OA = 8\) - \(c = AB = 10\) - \(A(8, 0)\), \(B(0, 6)\), \(O(0, 0)\) Substituting the values: \[ I_x = \frac{6 \cdot 8 + 8 \cdot 0 + 10 \cdot 0}{6 + 8 + 10} = \frac{48}{24} = 2 \] \[ I_y = \frac{6 \cdot 0 + 8 \cdot 6 + 10 \cdot 0}{6 + 8 + 10} = \frac{48}{24} = 2 \] ### Final Result Thus, the coordinates of the incenter \(I\) are \((2, 2)\).

To find the incenter of the triangle OAB formed by the origin O and the points A and B where the line \(3x + 4y - 24 = 0\) intersects the x-axis and y-axis, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the points of intersection A and B 1. **Find point A (intersection with x-axis)**: - Set \(y = 0\) in the equation \(3x + 4y - 24 = 0\): \[ 3x + 4(0) - 24 = 0 \implies 3x = 24 \implies x = 8 \] ...
