A right-angled triangle has a perimeter of 1276 and a longest side of 533. What is the length of the inradius?
inradius , r for a right triangle =
[ sum of two leg lengths - hypotenuse ] / 2
The sum of the two leg lengths = 1276 - 533 = 743
So
r = [ 743 - 533 ] / 2 = 210 / 2 = 105
A right-angled triangle has a perimeter of 1276 and the longest side of 533. What is the length of the inradius?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
P = 1276 s = 1276 / 2 Hypotenuse c = 533
Short leg = a long leg = b a + b = 743
a2 + (743 - a)2 = c2
a = 308 b = 435
A = 1/2(ab)
Inradius r = A / s = 105
