Pythagoras Theorem

In a triangle...

Question

In a triangle $A B C,$ , prove that
$(\frac{b - c}{r_{1}}) + (\frac{c - a}{r_{2}}) + (\frac{a - b}{r_{3}}) = 0$

Solution

We have $r_{1} = \frac{△}{s - a}$
$r_{2} = \frac{△}{s - b}$
and $r_{3} = \frac{△}{s - c}$
substituting the values of $r_{1}, r_{2}, r_{3}$ in the equation we get
$(\frac{b - c}{r_{1}}) + (\frac{c - a}{r_{2}}) + (\frac{a - b}{r_{3}})$
$= ⎛ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ \frac{b - c}{\frac{△}{s - a}} ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ + ⎛ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ \frac{c - a}{\frac{△}{s - b}} ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ + ⎛ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ \frac{a - b}{\frac{△}{s - c}} ⎞ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎠$
$= (\frac{b - c}{△}) (s - a) + (\frac{c - a}{△}) (s - b) + (\frac{a - b}{△}) (s - c)$
$= \frac{1}{△} [(b - c) (s - a) + (c - a) (s - b) + (a - b) (s - c)]$
$= \frac{1}{△} [s (b - c + c - a + a - b) - a (b - c) - b (c - a) - c (a - b)]$
$= 0$ (on simplification)
