Draw altitude JM. Because the triangle is isosceles, KM=ML=15

 

Then, by the Pythagorean Theorem, JM=252152=20.

 

This means that the area of the triangle is 2×(20×15÷2)=300.

 

Now, recall the formula for inradius, which is Areasemiperimeter=30040=7.5

 

Now, recall the formula for circumradius, which is product of the side lengths4×Area=18,7501,200=15.625
