In a triangle, the two longest sides are 13 cm and 12 cm. The angles of the triangle are in arithmetic progression. The radius of the circle inscribed in this triangle is :
Let x be the other side.
It is given that the angles are in AP, so the angles are 60-x, 60, 60+x
cos 60=$$\ \frac{\ x^2+169-144}{2\times\ x\times\ 13}$$
$$x^2-13x+25=0$$
x=10.6, 2.35
Inradii (r) = Area /Semi perimeter
when x= 10.6
$$\ \frac{\ \ \frac{\ 1}{2}\cdot12\cdot10.6*sin 60}{17.8}$$ = 3.09
when x= 2.34
$$\ \frac{\ \ \frac{\ 1}{2}\cdot12\cdot2.34*sin 60}{13.67}$$ = 0.9
x=1cm(approx)
D is the correct answer.
