Question:

In a triangle ABC, if \(r_1 = 3, r_2 = 4, r_3 = 6\), then \(b =\)

Show Hint

Use the exradius formula \(r = \dfrac{\Delta}{s - \text{side}}\) and manipulate equations accordingly to find unknown sides.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Given exradii \(r_1, r_2, r_3\), use relation with triangle sides: \[ r_1 = \dfrac{\Delta}{s-a}, \quad r_2 = \dfrac{\Delta}{s-b}, \quad r_3 = \dfrac{\Delta}{s-c}. \] By computing and equating appropriate expressions, we find \(b = 2\sqrt{6}\).
