If \(\mathrm{A}(0,0,0), \mathrm{B}(3,4,0), \mathrm{C}(0,12,5)\) are the vertices of a triangle ABC, then the \(x\)-coordinate of its incentre is

  1. A \(\frac{25}{18+7 \sqrt{2}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{25}{26}\)
  3. C \(\frac{39}{18+7 \sqrt{2}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{39}{26}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{39}{18+7 \sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(a = \sqrt{(0-3)^2 + (12-4)^2 + (5-0)^2} = \sqrt{9+64+25} = \sqrt{98} = 7\sqrt{2}\) \(b = \sqrt{(0-0)^2 + (12-0)^2 + (5-0)^2} = \sqrt{0+144+25} = \sqrt{169} = 13\) \(c = \sqrt{(3-0)^2 + (4-0)^2 + (0-0)^2} = \sqrt{9+16+0} = \sqrt{25} = 5\)…
