Example 15. In the given figure, ABC is right angled triangle with the AB = 6cm and AC = 8cm. A circle with centre O has been inscribed inside the triangle. Calculate the value of r, the radius of the inscribed circle.
Solution:- In right
BC2 = AB2 + AC2 [By Pathagoras theorem]
= 62 + 82
= 36 + 64
= 100
= 1/2 X 6 X 8 = 24cm2
= 24/12
= 2cm
