Answer:

equilateral triangle: all angles 60°

Explanation:

It can be shown easily that an equilateral triangle meets the requirement. It is a little more difficult to show that the requirement forces an equilateral triangle.

In an equilateral triangle, the incenter and the circumcenter are the same point: the centroid. The centroid is half as far from the side as it is from the vertex, so the requirement ri/rc = 1/2 is demonstrated by that property.
