Area of inscribed circle Ar=0.0086 sq units

Explanation:

The distances from the incenter to each side are equal to the inscribed circle's radius. The area of the triangle is equal to 12×r×(the triangle's perimeter), 1 2 × r × ( the triangle's perimeter ) , where r is the inscribed circle's radius.

Area of Triangle At=absinC2=bcsinA2=casinB2

ˆA=π8,ˆb=π3,ˆC=13π24,At=12

ab=2AtsinC=212sin(13π24)=24.21

bc=2AtsinA=212sin(π8)=62.72

ca=2AtsinB=212sin(π3)=27.71

a=abbccabc=24.2162.7227.7162.72=3.27

b=abbccabc=24.2162.7227.7127.71=7.4

c=abbccaab=24.2162.7227.7124.21=8.47

Perimeter p=a+b+c=3.27+7.4+8.47=19.14
