In ABC, the angle bisectors meet at point D. Point E is on AC, DE and is perpendicular to AC . Point F is the location where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle meet. What is the radius of the largest circle that can fit inside ABC?
hmm, i just finished some geometry. i may be able to help
could we draw up a picture of what this may look like?
I'd greatly appreciate it.(:
np ill help all that i can, you helped me so i'd like to return the favor
im in photoshop making a model of this drawing
*question not drawing
Thank you. Ok.
do we have any numbers to go off of on the triangle?
Nope.
Ill post the multiple choices too.
hmm. well how would we get a radius if there are no numbers to go off of?
okay that'll help
(A) AD, (B) BD, (C) DE, (D) DF, (E) EF
okay, so we need to get the radius as a letter rather than a number (this got a whole lot simpler)
Hahaha i had meant to post those multiple choices.
hah well so far i'm almost done with the sketch and i'm doing it on paper to get the point better, so far we have a hexagon shape and we simply have to put a circle in the hexagon :P
Sounds simple enough.
so the circle hits the point f,a,c,d
on the sketch
does this help you in any way?
or does it not. im not sure because question is vague
I guess i was going to choose (D), would you back up that choice?
let me see
oh, hell yeah!
pardon my french :P
It's all good thank you Jacob.
