Angle Measures (Posted on 2006-07-05) Difficulty: 3 of 5
What are the measures of the apex angles of all isosceles triangles with circumradius 9 and inradius 4?

(As a reminder, the circumradius is the radius of the circumscribed circle, and the inradius is the radius of the inscribed circle.)

Nice pictures! I drew the same ones by hand using compasses, marked ruler and protractor. First I drew a circle of radius 9, then a diameter of it, and finally the 1/2 angles at the apex using the protractor.  The radius of the incircle was then easily confirmed as 4.
