These side lengths are not the correct lengths of sides of a triangle. See explanation.

Explanation:

In a triangle every side must be shorter than the sum of remaining sides. In the given example it is not fullfilled because 2+3 is not greater than 5.

The given sides do not form a triangle so it is impossible to calculate the radius of inscribed circle.
