The area of the triangle's incircle is 1.07 sq.unit.

Explanation:

/_A = pi/6= 180/6=30^0 , /_B = pi/12=180/12= 15^0

/_C= 180-(30+15)=135^0 ;A_t=4 We know Area ,

A_t= 1/2*b*c*sin A or b*c=(2*4)/sin 30 = 16 , similarly ,

a*c=(2*4)/sin 15 ~~ 30.91 , and a*b=(2*4)/sin 135~~ 11.31

(a*b)*(b*c)*(c.a)=(a b c)^2= (16*30.91*11.31) or

a b c=sqrt(5595.31) = 74.80

a= (a b c)/(b c)=74.80/16~~4.68

b= (a b c)/(ac)=74.80/30.91~~2.42

c= (a b c)/(ab)=74.80/11.31~~6.61

Semi perimeter : S/2=(4.68+2.42+6.61)/2~~6.855

Incircle radius is r_i= A_t/(S/2) = 4/6.855~~0.58

Incircle Area = A_i= pi* r_i^2= pi*0.58^2 ~~1.07 sq.unit

The area of the triangle's incircle is 1.07 sq.unit [Ans]
