Solution 4
Let . By the cosine rule,
$AC = \sqrt{AB^{2} + BC^{2} - 2 \times AB \times BC \times \cos \angle BAC}
= \sqrt{1 + 1 - 2 cos 120^{\circ}}
= \sqrt{3}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg).
$BM = \sqrt{a^{2} + 1 - 2a \cdot cos 30^{\circ}}
= \sqrt{a^{2} - \sqrt{3} \cdot a + 1}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
$MN = \sqrt{(\sqrt{3} - a)^{2} + a^{2} - 2 \cdot (\sqrt{3} - a) \cdot a \cdot cos \angle MCN}
= \sqrt{3 + a^{2} - 2\cdot \sqrt{3} \cdot a + a^{2} - \sqrt{3} \cdot a + a^{2}}
= \sqrt{3a^{2} - 3\sqrt{3}\cdot a + 3}
= BM \cdot \sqrt{3}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg).
Now if B, M, and N are collinear, then $\angle AMB = \angle CMN
\implies sin \angle AMB = sin \angle CMN$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg).
By the law of Sines,
$\frac{1}{sin \angle AMB} = \frac{BM}{sin 30^{\circ}} = 2BM
\implies sin \angle AMB = \frac{1}{2BM}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg).
Also,
$\frac{a}{sin \angle CMN} = \frac{\sqrt{3} \cdot BM}{sin 60^{\circ}} = 2BM
\implies sin \angle CMN = \frac{a}{2BM}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg).
But $sin \angle AMB = sin \angle CMN
\implies \frac{1}{2BM} = \frac{a}{2BM}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg), which means . So, r = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} $.
