A straight line given by 3 x + 2 y = 6 intersects x axis and y axis at A , B respectively.If the distance between the incentre and orthocentre of Δ O A B can be expressed in the form c + d a b , find a + b + c + d where b , d are square free.

. We're sorry about the hassle.
sorry guys there is a small typo in the diagram the coordinate is ( 0 , 3 )
A very nice solution from Tanishq. An upvote for that.
I, here, have the standard JEE approach.
Let the vertices of the triangle formed be A ( 0 , 0 ) , B ( 0 , 3 ) , C ( 2 , 0 ) and the sides opposite to them be a = 1 3 , b = 2 , c = 3 respectively.
The coordinates of the incentre of a triangle whose vertex coordinates are A ( x 1 , y 1 ) , B ( x 2 , y 2 ) , C ( x 3 , y 3 ) is
( a + b + c a x 1 + b x 2 + c x 3 , a + b + c a y 1 + b y 2 + c y 3 )
Using the above formula we get,
I = ( 5 + 1 3 6 , 5 + 1 3 6 )
Orthocentre of a righta-triangle is the vertex opposite to the Hypotenuse.
Hence the distance is(using distance formula)
5 + 1 3 6 2
3 x + 2 y = 6 , ⟹ 2 X + 3 y = 1 ∴ T h e v e r t i c e s a r e ( 0 , 3 ) , ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 2 , 0 ) . S i d e s 3 − 2 − 1 3 . ⟹ i n r a d i u s , r = 2 + 3 + 1 3 2 ∗ 3 .

clearly orthocenter is ( 0 , 0
magnitude of inradius, which is radius of incircle of Δ O A B and incenter denoted by I
P I = Q I = r = ( s − o ) t a n ( 2 O )
where o = 1 3 , b = 2 , a = 3 note that o is the length of side facing O , b is the length of side facing B and a is the length of side facing A
angle A O B = 9 0 o
r = 2 5 − 1 3
We have to find O I
Clearly by pythagoras theorem
O I = P I 2 + O P 2 = P I 2 + Q I 2
O I = 2 P I = 2 r
O I = 2 ( 2 5 − 1 3 )
On rationalising and simplifying
O I = 5 + 1 3 6 2
