In the above figure , the red angle equals the sum of the orange angle and green angle.If R 1 R_1 is the circumradius of small triangle and R 2 R_2 is circumradius of bigger triangle , compare R 1 , R 2 R_1 , R_2 .

R 1 = R 2 R_1=R_2 R 1 < R 2 R_1<R_2 R 1 > R 2 R_1>R_2 Insufficient information

Just reflect the point of the interior say P P in B C BC to obtain P P' .Thus , P B C = P B C a n d P C B = P C B \angle PBC = \angle P'BC \ and \ \angle PCB = \angle P'CB by the reflection properties.Thus we have:

B P C = 180 P B C P C B = 180 ( P B C + P C B ) = 180 B A C \angle BP'C = 180 - \angle P'BC - \angle P'CB = 180 - (\angle PBC + \angle PCB) = 180 - \angle BAC

Since B P C = 180 B A C \angle BP'C =180 - \angle BAC , we conclude that A B P C \Box ABP'C is cyclic.Denote R ( A B C ) R(ABC) as circumradius of Δ A B C \Delta ABC . Thus , R ( A B C ) = R ( P B C ) R(ABC) = R(P'BC)

Also Δ P B C Δ P B C \Delta PBC \cong \Delta P'BC using ( A S A A-S-A test). Thus , R ( P B C ) = R ( P B C ) R(PBC) = R(P'BC)

Thus finally , R ( A B C ) = R ( P B C ) R 1 = R 2 R(ABC) = R(PBC) \Rightarrow \boxed{R_1 = R_2} .

Using sine law on triangle ABC:Equation 1* /(BC/ sin (<BAC) = 2R. Using sine law on triangle PBC: Equation 2* BC/sin (<BPC) = 2r. We know that <BAC=<PBC+<PCB and <BPC=180-(<PBC+<PCB). We also know the identity sin (x) = sin (180-x). So sin (<BAC)=sin (<BPC). So Equation 1 is equal to Equation 2, which means R=r
