Let theta = angle CAB. Then the area of triangle ABC can be written in two ways and equated. That is, 1 2 b a s e . h e i g h t = s e m i p e r i m e t e r . I n C i r c l e R a d i u s \frac{1}{2}base . height = semiperimeter.InCircleRadius 26 cos θ . 26 sin θ 2 = 26 cos θ + 26 sin θ + 26 2 r \frac{26 \cos \theta . 26 \sin \theta}{2} = \frac{26\cos\theta + 26\sin\theta+26}{2}r On line OT'T 2 r = 13 13 sin θ 2r = 13 - 13\sin\theta equating the two expressions for r 5 sin θ = 1 + cos θ 5 \sin \theta = 1 + \cos \theta Giving tan θ = 5 12 \tan \theta = \frac{5}{12} Hence OT' = 5 and T'T = 2r = 8
