If a triangle has sides 3,4,5 cm, find the distance between its incenter and circumcenter.

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

The area is 6 and semiperimeter is 6 cm, so r=1 cm; R=5/2 cm. Euler's identity =R(R-2r)=(5/2)(1/2)=5/4, giving OI=/2 cm. Alternatively, with the right angle at (0,0), circumcenter (1.5,2) and incenter (1,1), their separation is =/2.
