Let , , be rational numbers and define a triangle by the lengths of its sides:

,

,

,

which are scaled by their greatest common divisor to be integers.

Let be the incenter of and let , , be the feet of the corresponding Cevians.

Then the lengths of , , are rational.

Conversely, if the lengths of the Cevians are rational, so are the lengths of the triangle.
