hat A = pi/2, hat B pi/6, hat C = pi/3, A_t = 98

A_t = (1/2) ab sin C = (1/2(bc sin A = (1/2) ac sin B

ab =( 2A_t) /sin C = (2 * 98) / sin (pi/3) = 226.32

bc = (2 * 98) / sin (pi/2) = 196

ca = (2 * 98) / sin (pi/6) = 392
4169.97
a = sqrt(abc)^2 / (bc) =sqrt (226.32 * 196 * 392) / 196 =21.28

b = sqrt(abc)^2 / (ac) =sqrt (226.32 * 196 * 392) / 392 =10.64

c = sqrt(abc)^2 / (ab) =sqrt (226.32 * 196 * 392) / 226.32 =18.43

"Semiperimeter " = s = (a = b + c) / 2 = (21.28 + 10.64 + 18.43) / 2 = 25.18

color(chocolate)("Incircle radius " = r = A_t / s = 98 / 25.18 = 3.89
