Show that the circumradius $R$ of a triangle $ABC$ equals the arithmetic mean of the oriented distances from its incenter $I$ and three excenters $I_a,I_b, I_c$ to any tangent $\tau$ to its circumcircle. In other words, if $\delta(P)$ denotes the distance from a point $P$ to $\tau$, then with appropriate choices of signs, we have $$\delta(I) \pm \delta_(I_a) \pm \delta_(I_b) \pm \delta_(I_c) = 4R$$ Luis González

Euclid has a tool called splitter which can only do the following two types of operations : • Given three non-collinear marked points $X,Y,Z$ it can draw the line which forms the interior angle bisector of $\angle{XYZ}$. • It can mark the intersection point of two previously drawn non-parallel lines . Suppose Euclid is only given three non-collinear marked points $A,B,C$ in the plane . Prove that Euclid can use the splitter several times to draw the centre of circle passing through $A,B$ and $C$.
