Circumradius and inradius

Geometry Level 4

In a triangle A B C \triangle ABC , let R R be the its circumradius and r r be its inradius. We know that A B × A C × B C = 4350 \overline{AB} \times \overline{AC} \times \overline{BC} = 4350 and r × R = 145 4 r \times R = \dfrac{145}{4} . Then, find its perimeter and, if you can, find the relationship between the two radius and the three sides.


The answer is 60.

Let a = B C a=BC , b = C A b=CA , c = A B c=AB . Furthermore, let s s be the semiperimeter of triangle A B C ABC . The first equality becomes a b c = 4350 abc=4350 . From the metric identity [ A B C ] = r s = a b c 4 R [ABC]=rs=\dfrac{abc}{4R} , we deduce that s = a b c 4 r R = 4350 ( 4 145 4 ) = 30 s=\dfrac{abc}{4rR}=\dfrac{4350}{\left(4\cdot \dfrac{145}{4}\right)}=30 so the perimeter of triangle A B C ABC is 60 \boxed{60} .

Did the same way.......BTW Nice solution!!!!!!

Let R be the circumradius r be the inradius,a=BC,b=AC and c=AB .Given that r * R=145/4 or Area of the triangle/{(a+b+c)/2} * abc/(4 * Area of the triangle)=145/4 or abc/[4 * {(a+b+c)/2}]=145/4 or 4350/{2 * (a+b+c)}=145/4 or 2175/(a+b+c)=145/4 or a+b+c=(2175*4)/145 or a+b+c=60 so AB+BC+CA=60(ans)
