The correct Answer is:
To find the incenter of the triangle with vertices \( A(1, \sqrt{3}), B(0, 0), C(2, 0) \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the vertices The vertices of the triangle are: - \( A(1, \sqrt{3}) \) - \( B(0, 0) \) - \( C(2, 0) \) ### Step 2: Calculate the lengths of the sides We need to calculate the lengths of the sides of the triangle using the distance formula: \[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \] 1. Length \( a = BC \): \[ a = \sqrt{(2 - 0)^2 + (0 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{2^2} = 2 \] 2. Length \( b = AC \): \[ b = \sqrt{(2 - 1)^2 + (0 - \sqrt{3})^2} = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (-\sqrt{3})^2} = \sqrt{1 + 3} = \sqrt{4} = 2 \] 3. Length \( c = AB \): \[ c = \sqrt{(1 - 0)^2 + (\sqrt{3} - 0)^2} = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (\sqrt{3})^2} = \sqrt{1 + 3} = \sqrt{4} = 2 \] ### Step 3: Use the incenter formula The coordinates of the incenter \( (I_x, I_y) \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ I_x = \frac{a x_1 + b x_2 + c x_3}{a + b + c} \] \[ I_y = \frac{a y_1 + b y_2 + c y_3}{a + b + c} \] Substituting the values: - \( a = 2 \), \( b = 2 \), \( c = 2 \) - \( (x_1, y_1) = (1, \sqrt{3}) \) - \( (x_2, y_2) = (0, 0) \) - \( (x_3, y_3) = (2, 0) \) ### Step 4: Calculate \( I_x \) \[ I_x = \frac{2 \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot 0 + 2 \cdot 2}{2 + 2 + 2} = \frac{2 + 0 + 4}{6} = \frac{6}{6} = 1 \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( I_y \) \[ I_y = \frac{2 \cdot \sqrt{3} + 2 \cdot 0 + 2 \cdot 0}{2 + 2 + 2} = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{6} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \] ### Step 6: Conclusion The coordinates of the incenter are: \[ I(1, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}) \]
