  1. The radius of the inscribed circle of a triangle is 3, and the perimeter of the triangle is 20. Find the area of the triangle.

Solution:

The area (AA) of a triangle with an inscribed circle can be calculated using the formula:

A=rsA = r \cdot s

Where:

  • rr is the radius of the inscribed circle.
  • ss is the semiperimeter of the triangle.

Step 1: Calculate the semiperimeter (ss)

s=perimeter2=202=10s = \frac{\text{perimeter}}{2} = \frac{20}{2} = 10

Step 2: Substitute into the formula

A=rs=310=30A = r \cdot s = 3 \cdot 10 = 30

Final Answer:

The area of the triangle is 30 square units.
