Determine the circle radius if the circle is inscribed in a triangle wich has the sides lenghts of 13, 14, and 15 .

We have to find the radius of the circle inscribed in a
triangle with sides of length 13, 14 and 15.


Now we have
the area of a triangle given as sqrt [ s ( s-a) (s-b) (s-c)] and it is also equal to r*s
where s is the semi perimeter and r is the radius of the inscribed
circle.


So r*s =  sqrt [ s ( s-a) (s-b)
(s-c)]


r = sqrt [ s ( s-a) (s-b) (s-c)] / s  = sqrt [( s-a)
(s-b) (s-c)]/ s ].


As the sides are 13, 14 and 15, the semi
perimeter s = 21 .


So substituting we get r = sqrt [ 8* 7*
6 / 21] = sqrt 16 = 4.


So the required radius
is 4
