Area of Incircle $A_i = pi r_i^2 = color (purple)(6.4683)$ sq units

$hat A = pi/2, hat B = pi/4, hat C = pi - pi/2 -pi/4 = pi/4, A_t = 12$

#It’s an isosceles right triangle with sides b and c equal

$A_t = (1/2)ab sin C = (1/2) ca sin B$

$ab = ca = (2 * A_t) / sin C = (2*12)/ sin (pi/4) = 24sqrt2$

$bc = (2 * 12) / sin (pi/2) = 24$

$abc = sqrt(ab* bc* ca) = sqrt (24sqrt2 * 24sqrt2 * 24) = 96 sqrt3$

$a = (96 sqrt3) / 24 = 4 sqrt3$

$b = c = (96 sqrt3) / (24 sqrt2 )= 2 sqrt(6)$

Radius of Incircle $r_i = (b + c - a)/2 = (4 sqrt6 - 4 sqrt3) /2 = 1.4349$

Area of Incircle $A_i = pi r_i^2 = pi * 1.4349^2 = color (purple)(6.4683)$ sq units
