Problem
If the three points of contact of a circle inscribed in a triangle are joined, the angles of the resulting triangle:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Solution
For the sake of clarity, let the outermost triangle be with incircle tangency points , , and on , and respectively. Let , and . Because and are isosceles, and . So , and since , is acute. The same method applies to and , which means is acute - hence our answer is .
Final answer
D
