The perimeter of a triangle is 24 cm and the circumference of its incircle is 88 cm. The area of the triangle is (taking = \(\pi \) = \(\frac{22}{7}\)): |
176 168 180 198 |
168 |
Circumference of in-circle = 2\(\pi \)r = 88 ⇒ 2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × r = 88 ⇒ r = 14 ⇒ Inradius = \(\frac{Area\;of\;triangle}{Semi\;perimeter\;of\;triangle}\) ATQ ⇒ 14 = \(\frac{Area\;of\;triangle}{12}\) Area of triangle = 14 × 12 = 168 cm2 |
