Problem

In an equilateral triangle $ABC$ whose side has length 2, the circle $G$ is inscribed.

a. Show that for every point $P$ of $G$, the sum of the squares of its distances to the vertices $A$, $B$ and $C$ is 5.

b. Show that for every point $P$ in $G$ it is possible to construct a triangle whose sides have the lengths of the segments $AP$, $BP$ and $CP$, and that its area is:

\[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\]
