Show that the difference between the hypothenuse and the sum ofthe two legs of a right-angled triangle is equal to the diameter of theinscribed circle. MENSURA TION. 153 Solution. (1) Let ABC be the triangle, and O the center of theinscribed circle. BE,BF, AE, AK, KC andFC are tangents to thesame circle; hence EB= FB, AE = AK andKC=FC, also AE=OE=OK. (2) EB+KC=FB+CF. (3) EB+KC + AE + AK— (FB+CF) = AE+AK. .. AF+AK = FO + OE, the diameter of the —Solved bv the author for the Teachers FIG. 25.
