Problem

In an equilateral triangle $ABC$ whose side has length 2, the circle $G$ is inscribed.

a. Show that for every point $P$ of $G$, the sum of the squares of its distances to the vertices $A$, $B$ and $C$ is 5.

b. Show that for every point $P$ in $G$ it is possible to construct a triangle whose sides have the lengths of the segments $AP$, $BP$ and $CP$, and that its area is:

\[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\]

Solution

  • Note. I actually competed at this event in Venezuela when I was in High School representing Puerto Rico. I got full points for part a and partial points for part b. I don't remember what I did. I will try to write a solution for this one later.

This problem needs a solution. If you have a solution for it, please help us out by adding it.
