      Question

      In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is 13 cm and one leg

      is 5 cm. What is the radius of the circle inscribed in the triangle? 
      A 2 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 3 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 4 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 5 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Using Pythagoras theorem we get third side = 12 cm For a right triangle, the inradius is given by r = (a + b - c) / 2, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. Substituting the values, r = (5 + 12 - 13) / 2 = 2 cm. Correct answer: a) 2 cm
