The area of the incircle is $= 1.21 u^{2}$ $=1.21u^2$

Explanation:

The area of the triangle is $A = 5$ $A=5$

The angle $ˆ A = \frac{1}{12} π$ $hatA=1/12pi$

The angle $ˆ B = \frac{1}{8} π$ $hatB=1/8pi$

The angle $ˆ C = π - (\frac{1}{12} π + \frac{1}{8} π) = \frac{19}{24} π$ $hatC=pi-(1/12pi+1/8pi)=19/24pi$

The sine rule is

$\frac{a}{sin ˆ A} = \frac{b}{sin ˆ B} = \frac{c}{sin ˆ C} = k$ $a/(sin hat (A))=b/sin hat (B)=c/sin hat (C)=k$

So,

$a = k sin ˆ A$ $a=ksin hatA$

$b = k sin ˆ B$ $b=ksin hatB$

$c = k sin ˆ C$ $c=ksin hatC$

Let the height of the triangle be $= h$ $=h$ from the vertex $A$ $A$ to the opposite side $B C$ $BC$

The area of the triangle is

$A = \frac{1}{2} a \cdot h$ $A=1/2a*h$

But,

$h = c sin ˆ B$ $h=csin hatB$

So,

$A = \frac{1}{2} k sin ˆ A \cdot c sin ˆ B = \frac{1}{2} k sin ˆ A \cdot k sin ˆ C \cdot sin ˆ B$ $A=1/2ksin hatA*csin hatB=1/2ksin hatA*ksin hatC*sin hatB$

$A = \frac{1}{2} k^{2} \cdot sin ˆ A \cdot sin ˆ B \cdot sin ˆ C$ $A=1/2k^2*sin hatA*sin hatB*sin hatC$

$k^{2} = \frac{2 A}{sin ˆ A \cdot sin ˆ B \cdot sin ˆ C}$ $k^2=(2A)/(sin hatA*sin hatB*sin hatC)$

$k = \sqrt{\frac{2 A}{sin ˆ A \cdot sin ˆ B \cdot sin ˆ C}}$ $k=sqrt((2A)/(sin hatA*sin hatB*sin hatC))$

$= \sqrt{\frac{10}{sin (\frac{1}{12} π) \cdot sin (\frac{1}{8} π) \cdot sin (\frac{19}{24} π)}}$ $=sqrt(10/(sin(1/12pi)*sin(1/8pi)*sin(19/24pi)))$

$= 12.88$ $=12.88$

Therefore,

$a = 12.88 sin (\frac{1}{12} π) = 3.33$ $a=12.88sin(1/12pi)=3.33$

$b = 12.88 sin (\frac{1}{8} π) = 4.93$ $b=12.88sin(1/8pi)=4.93$

$c = 12.88 sin (\frac{19}{12} π) = 7.84$ $c=12.88sin(19/12pi)=7.84$

The radius of the incircle is $= r$ $=r$

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot r \cdot (a + b + c) = A$ $1/2*r*(a+b+c)=A$

$r = \frac{2 A}{a + b + c}$ $r=(2A)/(a+b+c)$

$= \frac{10}{16.1} = 0.62$ $=10/(16.1)=0.62$

The area of the incircle is

$a r e a = π \cdot r^{2} = π \cdot {0.62}^{2} = 1.21 u^{2}$ $area=pi*r^2=pi*0.62^2=1.21u^2$
