In ΔABC, ∠A = 90° and radius of the in-circle of the ΔABC is 3 cm and BC = 17 cm, then, what is the area (in sq. cm) of the ΔABC?
In ΔABC, ∠A = 90° and radius of the in-circle of the ΔABC is 3 cm and BC = 17 cm, then, what is the area (in sq. cm) of the ΔABC? Correct Answer 60
Given:
∠A = 90°
Radius of the in-circle of the ΔABC = 3 cm
BC = 17 cm
Formula used:
Area of ΔABC = semi perimeter × radius

In ΔABC, ∠A = 90° and BC = (BD + EC) = 17 cm
Now, the perimeter of ΔABC = AB + BC + CA = (AD + DB) + BC + (CE + AE)
⇒ AD + (BD + EC) + BC + AE
We know that AE = AD = radius of incentre
⇒ 3 + (17) + 17 + 3
⇒ 40 cm
So, the semi-perimeter (s) of ΔABC = 40/2 = 20 cm
Area of ΔABC = s × r
⇒ Area of ΔABC = 20 × 3 = 60 sq. cm
