Proof 1/r = 1/a +1/b + 1/c Incircle

Let r be the radius of the incircle of triangle ABC, and a, b, c be the radii of the excircles opposite vertices A,B, and C respectively. Write a proof illustrating the fact that 1/r = 1/a +1/b + 1/c. Please do not just direct me to a web page. I would like a detailed breakdown step by step on how this is done. Thanks much!

Centroid of Triangular Region- Balance Point

Using GEOMETRY only, I need to prove that the centroid of a triangular region (assuming uniform density) is the balance point. Trick is that I can't use the "equal areas" argument. I need a step-by-step explanation so I can walk through the process. Please don't send me to a website as I can do that for free. Thanks much!!

Prove that the centroid is the balance point of a triangle

Need to prove that the centroid is the balance point of a triangle using only GEOMETRY with no vector addition allowed and I can't use the "equal areas" argument as far as the 6 triangles that are made with the medians. Thanks much
