Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A circle is inscribed in a triangle with sides 8 cm, 15 cm, and 17 cm. What is the radius of the inscribed circle?
  • Inscribed Circle Radius – The radius of the inscribed circle (inradius) can be calculated using the formula: r = Area / semi-perimeter.
  • Triangle Area Calculation – Understanding how to calculate the area of a triangle using Heron's formula or other methods.
  • Semi-perimeter – The semi-perimeter of a triangle is half the sum of its sides, which is essential for finding the inradius.
