Area of the triangle's incircle is 4.814.81 sq.unit.

Explanation:

/_A = pi/12= 180/12=15^0 , /_B = pi/6=180/6= 30^0 A=π12=18012=150,B=π6=1806=300

:. /_C= 180-(30+15)=135^0 ;A_t=18. Area of triangle,

A_t= 1/2*b*c*sin A or b*c=(2*18)/sin 15 ~~ 139.09 ,

similarly ,a*c=(2*18)/sin 30=72.0 , and

a*b=(2*18)/sin 135 ~~ 50.91

(a*b)*(b*c)*(c.a)=(abc)^2= (139.09*72.0*50.91) or

abc=sqrt((139.09*72*50.91)) = 714.03

a= (abc)/(bc)=714.03/139.09~~5.13

b= (abc)/(ac)=714.03/72.0~~9.92

c= (abc)/(ab)=714.03/50.91~~14.03

Semi perimeter : S/2=(5.13+9.92+14.03)/2~~14.54

Incircle radius is r_i= A_t/(S/2) = 18/14.54~~1.24

Incircle Area = A_i= pi* r_i^2= pi*1.24^2 ~~4.81 sq.unit.

Area of the triangle's incircle is 4.81 sq.unit. [Ans]
