Triangle defined by one point IV

Geometry Level 5

Point I ( 979 , 2379 , 2500 ) I (979,2379,2500) is an incenter of a triangle. Vertices of the triangle are on the axes of the coordinate system.

Let points A ( a , 0 , 0 ) , B ( 0 , b , 0 ) , C ( 0 , 0 , c ) A(a,0,0), B(0,b,0), C(0,0,c) be vertices of the triangle. Triangle sides are: A B 2 = a 2 + b 2 , A C 2 = a 2 + c 2 , B C 2 = c 2 + b 2 AB^2 = a^2+b^2, AC^2=a^2+c^2, BC^2=c^2+b^2 Coordinates of the incentre are calculated using the system of 3 equations as follows: a B C / ( A B + A C + B C ) = 979 a*BC/(AB+AC+BC)=979 b A C / ( A B + A C + B C ) = 2379 b*AC/(AB+AC+BC)=2379 c A B / ( A B + A C + B C ) = 2500 c*AB/(AB+AC+BC)=2500 The equations solution is: a = 2332 , b = 6201 , c = 12720 a=2332, b=6201,c=12720 The perimeter can be calculated as 33708 33708
