Problem
Triangle has
The incircle of the triangle evenly trisects the median
If the area of the triangle is
where
and
are integers and
is not divisible by the square of a prime, find
Solution
Let and
be the points of tangency of the incircle with
and
, respectively. Without loss of generality, let
, so that
is between
and
. Let the length of the median be
. Then by two applications of the Power of a Point Theorem,
, so
. Now,
and
are two tangents to a circle from the same point, so
and thus
. Then triangle
is isosceles,
