$hat A = pi/12, hat B = pi/2, hat C = (5pi) / 12, A_t = 24$

$A_t = (1/2) a b sin C = (1/2) bc sin A = (1/2) ca sin B$

$ab = (2 A_t) / sin C = 48 / sin ((5pi)/12) = 49.69$

$bc = A_t / sin A = 48/ sin (pi/12) = 185.46$

$ca = A_t / sin C = 48 / sin(pi/2) = 48$

$a = (abc) / (bc) = sqrt(185.46 * 48 * 49.69) / 185.46 = 3.59$

$b = (abc) / (ac) = sqrt(185.46 * 48 * 49.69) / 48 =13.86$

$c = (abc) / (ab) = sqrt(185.46 * 48 * 49.69) / 49.69 = 13.84$

$"Semiperimeter " = s = (a + b + c) / 2 = (3.59 + 13.86 + 13.84) / 2 = 15.645$

$"Incircle radius " = r = A_t / s = 24 / 15.645$
