The figure shows a triangle ABC with the inradius
r and the
altitudes ha, hb, hc. Prove that the inradius is one-third the
harmonic mean of the altitudes, therefore,
\(\dfrac{1}{r}=\dfrac{1}{h_{a}}+\dfrac{1}{h_{b}}+\dfrac{1}{h_{c}}\)

Triangle's inradius
One-third harmonic mean of
Heights, beauty revealed. |
