1. Define the problem and notation:
Let △ABC be an acute-angled triangle with points D,E,F on sides BC,CA,AB respectively. The inradii of triangles △AEF,△BDF,△CDE are all equal to r0. Let r and R be the inradii of triangles △DEF and △ABC respectively. We need to prove that r+r0=R.
2. Introduce the centers of the incircles:
Let O1,O2,O3 be the centers of the incircles of △AEF,△BDF,△CDE respectively. The incircles touch EF,FD,DE at points M,N,L respectively. The incircles of △BDF and △CDE touch BC at points P,Q respectively. The incircles of △CDE and △AEF touch CA at points R,S respectively. The incircles of △AEF and △BDF touch AB at points T,U respectively.
3. Establish similarity of triangles:
Since O1O2UT,O2O3QP,O3O1SR are rectangles and O1,O2,O3 lie on the internal bisectors of ∠A,∠B,∠C, it follows that △ABC and △O1O2O3 are centrally similar through their common incenter I.
4. Determine the similarity coefficient:
The similarity coefficient is the ratio of their perimeters or inradii:
rr−r0=a+b+cO1O2+O2O3+O3O1=a+b+cPQ+RS+TU
Since PQ,RS,TU are segments on the sides of △DEF, we can write:
rr−r0=a+b+cDN+DL+EL+EM+FM+FN=a+b+cDE+EF+FD
5. Relate the inradii and perimeters:
On the other hand, we have:
r(a+b+c)=r0(a+b+c+DE+EF+FD)+ϱ(DE+EF+FD)
Simplifying, we get:
r−r0=a+b+c(DE+EF+FD)(r0+ϱ)
6. **Substitute and solve for r:**
Substituting r−r0 from the similarity coefficient equation into the above equation, we get:
rr−r0=a+b+cDE+EF+FD
Therefore:
r−r0=a+b+c(DE+EF+FD)(r0+ϱ)
Simplifying further, we find:
r=r0+ϱ
7. Conclusion:
Since ϱ is the inradius of △DEF, we have r=r0+R.
■
The final answer is r+r0=R
