In the triangle ABCABC, in which A=60\angle A = 60^\circ, D(BC)D \in (BC) is such that ADAD is the internal bisector of angle A\angle A. Let it be rB,rCr_B, r_C and rr, respectively, the inradius of the triangles ABDABD, ADCADC and ABCABC. Show that 1rB+1rC=2(1r+1b+1c)\frac{1}{r_B} + \frac{1}{r_C} = 2\left(\frac{1}{r} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c}\right), where bb and cc are the lengths of the sides ACAC and ABAB of the triangle ABCABC.

Solution

It is well known that AD=2bcb+ccosA2=bc3b+cAD = \frac{2bc}{b+c} \cos \frac{A}{2} = \frac{bc\sqrt{3}}{b+c}. Let h=AMh = AM be the length of the altitude from AA in the triangle ABCABC. From the theorem of the internal bisector we get
BD=acb+c,CD=abb+c. BD = \frac{ac}{b+c}, \quad CD = \frac{ab}{b+c}.
Let pABD=BD+DA+AB2p_{ABD} = \frac{BD + DA + AB}{2} be the half perimeter of triangle ABDABD. If we denote [ABD][ABD] the surface of the triangle ABDABD, then
rB=[ABD]pABD=hBD2pABD=hBDBD+AD+AB=hacb+cacb+c+bc3b+c+c=ah2p+3b. r_B = \frac{[ABD]}{p_{ABD}} = \frac{h \cdot BD}{2 \cdot p_{ABD}} = \frac{h \cdot BD}{BD + AD + AB} = \frac{\frac{h \cdot ac}{b+c}}{\frac{ac}{b+c} + \frac{bc\sqrt{3}}{b+c} + c} = \frac{ah}{2p + \sqrt{3} \cdot b}.
Analogously we get rC=ah2p+3cr_C = \frac{ah}{2p + \sqrt{3} \cdot c}, where p=a+b+c2p = \frac{a+b+c}{2}. From this we have
1rB+1rC=2p+b3ah+2p+c3ah=4p+(b+c)3ah. \frac{1}{r_B} + \frac{1}{r_C} = \frac{2p + b\sqrt{3}}{ah} + \frac{2p + c\sqrt{3}}{ah} = \frac{4p + (b+c)\sqrt{3}}{ah}.
But r=[ABC]p=ah2pr = \frac{[ABC]}{p} = \frac{ah}{2p}, so ah=2prah = 2pr. Thus,
1rB+1rC=4p+(b+c)32pr. \frac{1}{r_B} + \frac{1}{r_C} = \frac{4p + (b+c)\sqrt{3}}{2pr}.
Now, b=ACb = AC, c=ABc = AB, and sin60=32\sin 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, so [ABC]=12bcsin60=bc34[ABC] = \frac{1}{2}bc\sin 60^\circ = \frac{bc\sqrt{3}}{4}, and r=[ABC]p=bc34pr = \frac{[ABC]}{p} = \frac{bc\sqrt{3}}{4p}, so 1r=4pbc3\frac{1}{r} = \frac{4p}{bc\sqrt{3}}.

Also,
1b+1c=b+cbc. \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} = \frac{b + c}{bc}.
Therefore,
2(1r+1b+1c)=2(4pbc3+b+cbc)=8pbc3+2(b+c)bc. 2\left(\frac{1}{r} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c}\right) = 2\left(\frac{4p}{bc\sqrt{3}} + \frac{b + c}{bc}\right) = \frac{8p}{bc\sqrt{3}} + \frac{2(b + c)}{bc}.
But ah=2prah = 2pr, so ah=2pbc34p=bc32ah = 2p \cdot \frac{bc\sqrt{3}}{4p} = \frac{bc\sqrt{3}}{2}.

Now, substitute ahah into the earlier formula:
1rB+1rC=4p+(b+c)3ah=4p+(b+c)3bc32=2[4p+(b+c)3]bc3=8pbc3+2(b+c)bc. \frac{1}{r_B} + \frac{1}{r_C} = \frac{4p + (b+c)\sqrt{3}}{ah} = \frac{4p + (b+c)\sqrt{3}}{\frac{bc\sqrt{3}}{2}} = \frac{2[4p + (b+c)\sqrt{3}]}{bc\sqrt{3}} = \frac{8p}{bc\sqrt{3}} + \frac{2(b+c)}{bc}.
This matches the previous expression, so
1rB+1rC=2(1r+1b+1c). \frac{1}{r_B} + \frac{1}{r_C} = 2\left(\frac{1}{r} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c}\right).
