Question

If lengths of tangents drawn from the vertices of triangles whose vertices are (0,0),(5,0) and (0,12) to it's incircle are a,b,c(a<b<c) units. Then (a+b)×c is

Solution

Let the lengths of the tangents drawn from the given vertices to circle are x,y,z


From the diagram,
x+y=5
x+z=12
y+z=122+52=13

Solving the above equation, we get
x=2,y=3,z=10
a=2,b=3,c=10(a<b<c)
Thus (a+b)×c=50
