in the radius of the circle inscribed in a triangle ABC. Triangle ABC is a right- anged isosceles triangle with the hypotenuse as 62-162

Solution

It looks like the question is incomplete or possibly misphrased. You might be asking about finding the radius of the circle inscribed in a right-angled isosceles triangle with a given hypotenuse.

For a right-angled isosceles triangle, where the two legs are equal and the hypotenuse is given, the radius rr of the inscribed circle can be calculated using the formula:

r=a(21)2r = \frac{a(\sqrt{2}-1)}{2} where aa is the length of each leg of the triangle.

In your case, you provided the hypotenuse as 6262, but there seems to be confusion about "162." I'll assume the hypotenuse is 6262.

For a right-angled isosceles triangle, the relationship between the hypotenuse cc and the legs aa is given by:

c=a2c = a\sqrt{2}

So, we can find the length of the legs aa by solving for aa:

a=c2=622=62×22=312a = \frac{c}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{62}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{62 \times \sqrt{2}}{2} = 31\sqrt{2}

Now, using this in the formula for the inscribed circle's radius:

r=312(21)2r = \frac{31\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2}-1)}{2}

Would you like further clarifications or help solving this step-by-step?


Here are some related questions you might consider:

  1. What is the relationship between the hypotenuse and legs in an isosceles right triangle?
  2. How do you find the area of a right-angled isosceles triangle?
  3. How can you derive the formula for the radius of an inscribed circle in different triangles?
  4. What is the formula for the circumradius of a right triangle?
  5. Can you find the perimeter of a right-angled isosceles triangle?

Tip: In an isosceles right triangle, the hypotenuse is always 2\sqrt{2} times longer than each of the legs.
