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
Correct Answer: 2
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:Β $$rs=Area$$, where s is the semi-perimeter of the triangleΒ
The Area would beΒ $$\frac{1}{2}\times\ 6\times\ 8=24$$
and the semi-perimeter would beΒ $$\frac{10+6+8}{2}=12$$
Giving the inradius to beΒ $$\frac{24}{12}=2$$ units
Therefore, 2 is the correct answer.Β
