Given six integers representing the vertices of a triangle, say A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), and C(x3, y3), the task is to find the coordinates of the excenters of the given triangle.

Excenter is a point where the bisector of one interior angle and bisectors of two external angle bisectors of the opposite side of the triangle, intersect. There are a total of three excenters in a triangle.

Examples:

Input: x1 = 0, y1 = 0, x2 = 3, y2 = 0, x3 = 0, y3 = 4
Output:
6 6
-3 3
2 -2
Explanation: The coordinates of the Excenters of the triangle are: (6, 6), (-3, 3), (2, -2)

Input: x1 = 0, y1 = 0, x2 = 12, y2 = 0, x3 = 0, y3 = 5
Output:
15 15
-3 3
10 -10

Approach: The given problem can be solved by using the formula for finding the excenter of the triangles. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  • Suppose the vertices of the triangle are A(x1, y1), B(x2, y2), and C(x3, y3).
  • Let the length of the sides be AB, BC and AC be c, a and b respectively. 
    Therefore, the formula to find the coordinates of the Excenters of the triangle is given by: 
     

I1 = { (-a*x1 + b*x2 + c*x3) / (-a + b + c ), (-a*y1 +b*y2 + c*y3 ) / (-a + b + c) }

I2 = { ( a*x1 – b*x2 + c*x3) / ( a – b + c ), ( a*y1 -b*y2 + c*y3 ) / (a – b + c) }

I3 = { ( a*x1 + b*x2 – c*x3 / (a + b – c ), ( a*y1 +b*y2 – c*y3) / (a + b – c) }

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to calculate the
// distance between a pair of points
float distance(int m, int n, int p, int q)
{
    return sqrt(pow(n - m, 2)
                + pow(q - p, 2) * 1.0);
}
 
// Function to calculate the coordinates
// of the excenters of a triangle
void Excenters(int x1, int y1, int x2,
               int y2, int x3, int y3)
{
    // Length of the sides of the triangle
    float a = distance(x2, x3, y2, y3);
    float b = distance(x3, x1, y3, y1);
    float c = distance(x1, x2, y1, y2);
 
    // Stores the coordinates of the
    // excenters of the triangle
    vector<pair<float, float> > excenter(4);
 
    // Applying formula to find the
    // excenters of the triangle
 
    // For I1
    excenter[1].first
        = (-(a * x1) + (b * x2) + (c * x3))
          / (-a + b + c);
    excenter[1].second
        = (-(a * y1) + (b * y2) + (c * y3))
          / (-a + b + c);
 
    // For I2
    excenter[2].first
        = ((a * x1) - (b * x2) + (c * x3))
          / (a - b + c);
    excenter[2].second
        = ((a * y1) - (b * y2) + (c * y3))
          / (a - b + c);
 
    // For I3
    excenter[3].first
        = ((a * x1) + (b * x2) - (c * x3))
          / (a + b - c);
    excenter[3].second
        = ((a * y1) + (b * y2) - (c * y3))
          / (a + b - c);
 
    // Print the excenters of the triangle
    for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
        cout << excenter[i].first << " "
             << excenter[i].second
             << endl;
    }
}
