Dynamic Geometry 1480 with Solution: Japanese Theorem for Cyclic Polygon, Sangaku, Triangulation, Non-intersecting Diagonals, Sum of Inradii, Invariant, Step-by-step Illustration
Let a cyclic polygon be triangulated in any manner by non-intersecting diagonals. Prove that the sum of the inradii of the triangles formed is a constant independent of the triangulation chosen (invariant).
