The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to verify the equation involving the distances between the centers of three coaxial circles and their respective radii. The equation we need to check is: \[ QR \cdot r_1^2 + RP \cdot r_2^2 + PQ \cdot r_3^2 = PQ \cdot QR \cdot RP \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Centers and Radii**: Let \( P, Q, R \) be the centers of the three coaxial circles, and let \( r_1, r_2, r_3 \) be the radii of these circles respectively. 2. **Determine the Distances**: - The distance \( QR \) can be expressed as \( QR = |Q - R| \). - The distance \( RP \) can be expressed as \( RP = |R - P| \). - The distance \( PQ \) can be expressed as \( PQ = |P - Q| \). 3. **Calculate the Squares of the Radii**: - The radius \( r_1 \) of the circle centered at \( P \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ r_1^2 = g_1^2 + f_1^2 - c_1 \] - Similarly, calculate \( r_2^2 \) and \( r_3^2 \) for circles centered at \( Q \) and \( R \) respectively. 4. **Substitute Values into the Left-Hand Side (LHS)**: Substitute the distances and the squares of the radii into the left-hand side of the equation: \[ LHS = QR \cdot r_1^2 + RP \cdot r_2^2 + PQ \cdot r_3^2 \] 5. **Substitute Values into the Right-Hand Side (RHS)**: Calculate the right-hand side: \[ RHS = PQ \cdot QR \cdot RP \] 6. **Compare LHS and RHS**: After substituting the values into both sides, simplify both sides to see if they are equal. 7. **Conclusion**: If the left-hand side does not equal the right-hand side, the statement is false.
