Hello friends!
triangle ABC
a=14 b=15 c=13
Referring to the graph in Mathhemathh's reply on August 09, 2018.
What is the radius of the circle inscribed in triangle ABC if AB = 5, AC=6, BC=7?
Please for permission.
1. circle radius
formula of Heron
\(A=\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}\\ s=\frac{1}{2}(a+b+c)\\ s=\frac{1}{2}(14+15+13)\\ s=21\\ A=\sqrt{21(21-14)(21-15)(21-13)}\)
\(A=84\)
\(A=\frac{ar+br+cr}{2}\\ r=\frac{2A}{a+b+c}=\frac{168}{14+15+13}=\frac{168}{42}\\ \color{blue}r=4\)
Thanks Mathhemathh!
2. angle \(\beta\)
cosine
\(b^2=a^2+c^2-2ac\cdot cos \beta\\ \beta=arccos\frac{a^2+c^2-b^2}{2ac}\\ \beta=arccos\frac{14^2+13^2-15^2}{2\cdot 14\cdot 13c}=arccos\ 0.384615\)
\(\beta=67.3801°\)
\(\frac{\beta}{2}=33.690°\)
3. Length of the route \(\overline{BI}\)
\(sin\frac{\beta}{2}=\frac{r}{\overline{BI}}\\ \overline{BI}=\frac{r}{sin\frac{\beta}{2}}=\frac{4}{sin\ 33.690°}\)
\(\overline{BI}=7.2111\)
\( The\ length\ of\ \overline{BI}\ is\ 7,2111 \)
