Straight Line and Pair of Straight Lines 1 Question 29

29. The incentre of the triangle with vertices $(1, \sqrt{3}),(0,0)$ and $(2,0)$ is

(2000, 2M)

(a) $1, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

(b) $\frac{2}{3}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

(c) $\frac{2}{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

(d) $1, \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Let the vertices of triangle be $A(1, \sqrt{3}), B(0,0)$ and $C(2,0)$. Here, $A B=B C=C A=2$.

Therefore, it is an equilateral triangle. So, the incentre coincides with centroid.

$$ \begin{array}{ll} \therefore & I \equiv \frac{0+1+2}{3}, \frac{0+0+\sqrt{3}}{3} \\ \Rightarrow & I \equiv(1,1 / \sqrt{3}) \end{array} $$
