Area of triangle's incircle is 6.7(1dp)6.7(1dp) sq.unit

Explanation:

/_A = 180/12=15^0 ; /_B= 58180/12=75^0 ; /_C=180-(75+15)=90^0A=18012=150;B=5818012=750;C=180(75+15)=900
Area of triangle A_r=21Ar=21(given). Let a,b,c be the sides of triangle.We know (a*b*sinC)/2=A_r or a*b=42/sin90=42absinC2=Arorab=42sin90=42similarly
b*c=42/sin15=162.28bc=42sin15=162.28 and c*a=42/sin75=43.48:. ab*bc*ca=(abc)^2=42*162.28*43.48 or abc=544.38 :. a=544.38/162.28=3.355 ;b =544.38/43.48=12.52 ; c= 544.38/42=12.96So semi perimeterS=(3.355+12.52+12.96)/2 =14.42 Incircle radius isA_r/S= 21/14.42=1.46 Area of triangle's incircle is pi*1.46^2=6.7(1dp) sq.unit [Ans]
