A circle of radius $r$ is drawn inside a triangle so that it just touches each of the three sides as shown in the diagram. The three corners and points where the circle touches have been labelled $A$ to $F$.

One side of the triangle is divided into segments of length $a$ and $b$ by the inscribed circle. However, we are not told which of the three sides is divided in this way.

From this information we can find an expression for the area of the triangle. Prove that the area of the triangle is: $$\frac{abr(a+b)}{ab-r^2}. $$
