Congruent Incircles (Posted on 2008-04-11) Difficulty: 3 of 5


Let ABC be an equilateral triangle with side length 2.
Let the altitude AA' and a cevian BB' intersect at a point D.

If the incircles of triangles ABB' and BCD are congruent, then what is the value of their common radius?

Yes, I understand the concept of a cevian line and I recognise the structure of the product of the LHS and the RHS in its statement.  I'm probably trying to approach this too simply, expecting too much too easily.
