The area of the triangle's incircle is 7.637.63 sq.unit

Explanation:

/_A = pi/12= 180/12=15^0 , /_B = (5 pi)/12= 75^0 A=π12=18012=150,B=5π12=750

:. /_C= 180-(75+15)=90^0 ; A_t=24

Area , A_t= 1/2*b*c*sin A or b*c=(2*24)/sin 15~~ 185.46 ,

similarly ,a*c=(2*24)/sin 75 =49.69, and

a*b=(2*24)/sin 90 = 48.0

(a*b)*(b*c)*(c.a)=(abc)^2= (185.46*49.69*48) or

abc=sqrt( 185.46*49.69*48) ~~ 665.11

a= (abc)/(bc)=665.11/185.46~~ 3.59 unit

b= (abc)/(ac)=665.11/49.69~~ 13.39 unit

c= (abc)/(ab)=665.11/48~~ 13.86 unit

Semi perimeter : S/2=(3.59+13.39+13.86)/2~~15.42

Incircle radius is r_i= A_t/(S/2) = 24/15.42~~1.56 unit

Incircle Area = A_i= pi* r_i^2= pi*1.56^2 ~~7.63 sq.unit

The area of the triangle's incircle is 7.63 sq.unit [Ans]
