Find the inradius of a triangle with 6, 25, and 29.
Let a=6Let b=25Let c=29Let the inradius of the triangle =ρLet s=6+25+292=30Let the area of the triangle A=ρsLet the area of the triangle A=√s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)(Heron)
A=ρs=√s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)ρs=√s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)ρ=√s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)sρ=√s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)s2ρ=√(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)sρ=√(30−6)(30−25)(30−29)30ρ=√24∗5∗130ρ=√12030ρ=√4ρ=2
The inradius of a triangle is 2
