Let $\triangle ABC$ be a triangle with the fixed distances from its vertices to a given point $P$,where $PA,PB,PC$ are not all equal. Is there a maximum value for the perimeter of triangle ABC, and if so, indicate the location of point $P$.
Fixed points $B, C$, we can get when the perimeter takes maximum value,$AP$ must be the bisector of angle $BAC$. Can we say the answer of this question is the incenter of $\triangle ABC$?
If $AP$ bisects $BPC$, then $AB$ and $AC$ are the same length. This is because the points lie on a circle with centre $P$ and the angles $APB$ and $APC$ must be the same. The same argument applies to all the sides, so the triangle must be regular. It is then obvious that $P$ is the incentre.
