AMC 12B 2024 (Problem 24)
What is the number of ordered triples of positive integers, with , such that there exists a non-degenerate triangle with an integer inradius for which , , and are the lengths of the altitudes from to , to , and to , respectively? (Recall that the inradius of a triangle is the radius of the largest possible circle that can be inscribed in the triangle.)
By the Incenter of a Triangle toolkit,
By Hint 2,
Use casework based on the integer inradius .
Case 1: .By Hints 3 and 4,
Case 2: .
Case 2.2: .
Case 2.1: .
Since , we have , so . Thus, or .If ,
If ,
Therefore, gives no valid triple.
Case 2.2: .
Case 3: .
Case 3.1: .
If ,
In fact, every choice of and with is impossible, since
Therefore, gives no valid triple.
Case 3.2: .
For example, if ,
More generally, no choice is possible because
Therefore, gives no valid triple.
Case 3.3: .
By Hints 7, 8, and 11,
Therefore, there are exactly 3 ordered triples.
