The coordinates of the three vertices of a triangle are: (1, 2), (7, 2), and (1, 10). Then the radius of the incircle of the triangle is

Upon drawing a rough sketch of the coordinates given, we realise that this is a right-angled triangle.

The three side lengths are 6, 8 and 10 units

The inradius of a circle can be calculated using the formula: $$rs=Area$$, where s is the semi-perimeter of the triangle 

The Area would be $$\frac{1}{2}\times\ 6\times\ 8=24$$
and the semi-perimeter would be $$\frac{10+6+8}{2}=12$$

Giving the inradius to be $$\frac{24}{12}=2$$ units

Therefore, 2 is the correct answer.
