Whether F is inside or outside ABC, the triangle’s inradius (the radius of the orange circle) can be computed from the radii of the blue circles; it is just necessary to adjust the formula based on the location of F. Jay Warendorff’s “The Radii of Four Incircles” Demonstration shows this more general version of the theorem.
