    Question

    A triangle has sides 13 cm, 14 cm, and 15 cm. What is

    the radius of its incircle?
    A 5 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sides: a = 13, b = 14, c = 15. Semi-perimeter s = (13 + 14 + 15) / 2 = 42/2 = 21. Area (Heron’s formula): Area = √[s(s βˆ’ a)(s βˆ’ b)(s βˆ’ c)] = √[21 Γ— (21 βˆ’ 13) Γ— (21 βˆ’ 14) Γ— (21 βˆ’ 15)] = √[21 Γ— 8 Γ— 7 Γ— 6] = √7056 = 84 cmΒ². Inradius r = Area / s = 84 / 21 = 4 cm.
