$triangle[ABC]$ is a 30-60 right triangle, and its right angle is at C. A is at the origin. A circle is inscribed in it; its center is at



O = ((sqrt(3)/4)(sqrt(3)-1), (1/4)(sqrt(3)-1))


and its radius is (1/4)(sqrt(3)-1). Leg AC is the shorter leg. The equation of the line through it is y = sqrt(3)*x. The line perpendicular to AC has slope -sqrt(3)/3, and the line through O with slope -sqrt(3)/3 intersects leg AC at



Q = (sqrt(3)*(sqrt(3)-1), 3*(sqrt(3)-1)) .


So, the command draw (O) -- (Q); should draw a radius of the circle to leg AC. On my computer, the command renders a line segment through the other leg and ridiculously long. It seems to me that the command locating point Q has been ignored.

  • If one adds the units, the problem disappears: path let n1={8*sqrt(3)*(sqrt(3)-1)*1pt}, n2={8*3*(sqrt(3)-1)*1pt} in coordinate (Q) at (n1,n2);.
