Pedal Triangle!

Geometry Level 2

With usual notations consider that X , Y , Z are the ex-centres of triangle ABC. If the ratio of circumradius of triangle XYZ to the circumradius of p e d a l t r i a n g l e pedal~triangle of triangle ABC is k : 1 , then what is the value of 'k' ?????

Note : A p e d a l t r i a n g l e pedal~triangle is a triangle obtained by projecting a point onto the sides of a triangle !!!!!

Enjoy !!!!!


The answer is 4.

If the radius of pedal triangle is R then the radius of triangle ABC is 2R and the radius of triangle XYZ is 4R.

(Here , the radius of triangle means the the radius of the circumcircle of the triangle.)

R a t i o Ratio = = 4 R R \frac{4R}{R} = = 4 : 1 4:1

Thus , k = 4 k = 4 .
