Let r and s be the inradii of Δ A D F and □ A E C F , and 2 t be the side length of □ A B C D . Remember that the inradius of a polygon is one half of the ratio of its area and perimeter. Hence, r = A D + D F + F A 2 A D ⋅ D F = 2 t + t + t 5 2 2 t ⋅ t = ( 2 3 − 5 ) t s = A F + F C + C E + E A [ A B C D ] − [ A D F ] − [ A B E ] = t 5 + t + t + t 5 4 t 2 − t 2 − t 2 = ( 2 5 − 1 ) t Now let G be the foot of the perpendicular from I 2 to D C ; H and I be the foot of the perpendiculars from I 1 to A D and I 2 G , respectively. Now notice that H I 1 A H = H I 1 A D − D H = ( 2 3 − 5 ) t 2 t − ( 2 3 − 5 ) t = 2 + 5 , and I I 2 I 1 I = I 2 G − r D C − r − s = ( 2 5 − 1 ) t − ( 2 3 − 5 ) t 2 t − ( 2 3 − 5 ) t − ( 2 5 − 1 ) t = 2 + 5 Thus, H I 1 A H = I I 2 I 1 I , and so Δ A H I 1 ∼ Δ I 1 I I 2 . Since Δ A H I 1 is right, therefore 9 0 ∘ = ∠ H A I 1 + ∠ A I 1 H = ∠ I 2 I 1 I + ∠ A I 1 H ⇒ ∠ A I 1 I 2 = 9 0 ∘
